Death's Collector - Void Walker

It was just a little bit of treason.The petty, vicious gods demand that Bib the sorcerer lure his friend, the young king, into a losing war. Bib thinks he's clever enough to arrange things so that the king is defeated yet keeps his throne - and his head.But the king won't listen until Bib crushes some traitors for him. Faced with rebellious nobles, mystical killers, and allies he can't control, Bib finds that cleverness needs a sword and some vicious magic to back it up. Because if he fails, the gods have torture, death, and even destruction beyond death waiting for him. They may even point and laugh.Struggling across a landscape of brutal armies, immortal vengeance, and a highly aggravated ex-lover, Bib does what he does best: mock the pretentious, take no crap, and murder people who almost certainly deserve it.Death's Collector: Void-Walker is the fourth novel in the darkly irreverent Death-Cursed Wizard series, which follows Bib the lethal sorcerer as he strives against cruel villains, bad sorcerers, petty gods, and his inner demons - which, like a fool, he feeds regularly.
