A demon cure is finally within reach.
With his pockets brimming with gold after the harrowing quest in Elderstay, and travel papers to the healing isle of Maracanda, Gerome believes his demonic fiend Al may soon be gone for good.
But when a deadly plague shuts down the Grandfall docks and forces him to ship out of a nearby lawless shantytown, he enlists the protection of a senile, elderly bodyguard armed with nothing but a giant axe and a loincloth stuffed with pipeweed. What could possibly go wrong?
Quite a lot, actually. Broderick is hiding something - whether on purpose or because he forgot. Worse still, an ancient evil is stalking their every step, leading them down a path neither can hope to survive.
Bandits. Pirates. Wyverns. Killer swarms, and terrible secrets...
The road to healing might just kill them.
The second installment in The New Dark Saga, On the Way to Maracanda, is a laugh-out-loud dark fantasy full of chaos, terrible choices, and unwise old mentors - perfect for fans of D&D and comedic fantasy.
