Bared Blade (2012)
“I came into this one when it came into my office. I had two sips of good Aveni whiskey left in my glass when the woman walked into the taproom at the Gryphon’s Head. Women, really …or, well, it’s complicated. I believed there were two of them at the time, so we’ll go with that for now—two women walk into a tavern. My tavern.
The place I work out of is named after the skull the owner nailed up behind the bar. Jerik used to hunt monsters for a living. Poach monsters, really, but it’s not the kind... of poaching that gets you arrested, because the royal game wardens don’t want the damned things around either. He retired when the one behind the bar nearly bit off his head. What the Gryphon lacks in elegance it more than makes up in character, every one of them dangerous and most of them wanted by the Crown. My silent partner and I fit right in, though no one ever sees him.
They call me Aral these days, or shadow jack. The one is my name, though not quite as it appears on all the warrants and wanted posters.MoreLess
