A Plague of Peskies (The 13th Advocate Book 4)

In this stand-alone episode: Seeking shelter at the edge of the world, in a place only madmen tread, Karsten and Babette must set their plans aside to rescue a fellow traveler from his own stupidity. But no good deed shall go unpunished, and soon the pair is caught up in an escalating standoff between a pompous bureaucrat and a tribe of blood-thirsty savages. So what are they fighting about? A flock of sheep. In the middle of a poxing desert. Who is the 13th Advocate? Karsten was a violent man at the end of a violent career with no greater ambition than a quiet retirement and maybe a woman to keep him warm. But a gamble over a bottle of beer cost him that dream and sealed him to a bewildering fate: as a reluctant and curmudgeonly chosen one. Irritable, argumentative, and with powers beyond imagining (though he's still not sure how to use them) Karsten now travels the back roads of a decaying empire, bringing his own brand of justice to both the high and the low. And getting grief at every turn from the llama who carries his gear.
