Description

Its bad enough when your brother is possessed by a demon. Its even worse when the only person who might be able to help turns you into a toad on her doorstep and tells you to keck off. But the fact that the planet is shaped like a cube Well, that really isnt her problem.

Nelbow Rockfist is a dwarf on a mission. Her brother has a bad case of demonic possession and there is a shortage of exorcists. Her only hope is to convince the sorcerer Grumblechin to come out of retirement, but the once-infamous spellcaster is adamant she wont leave the comfort of her tower for anything, least of all to meddle with demons. Failing to convince this reclusive retiree to change her mind will mean disaster for Nelbow, her brother and potentially the rest of dwarfkind.

Meanwhile, Orsnart Rogtog knows that firsts are difficult. Being the first orc pryvate eye in a city of dwarves is tough. Avoiding the axe blows of gangsters and smugglers while trying to crack a case is tougher. Waiting until an acceptable hour to have the first drink of the day is toughest of all. But when he finds a lead on the most wanted criminal in the kingdom and has glamourous elves knocking on the door of his agency, that really is a first.

And then theres Arran: Hells newest demon whos found a unique way to corrupt souls. But in the competitive realm of demonic possessions, things arent working out for him, to say the least.
