<b>Three friends from our world woke up one day to find themselves in a realm of swords and sorcery. Granted new bodies with new lives and memories to match, they set out into untamed lands to live out their fantasy-genre fantasies as wandering sellswords.</b><br> <br> <b>But it's been a few years... Now they're bored.</b><br> <br> In this adventure, which the trio have tried desperately to avoid, an unexpected detour drops the companions in the middle of the labyrinthine coastal city of Elsingr, where they are attacked by the most vicious, most regicidal assassins' guild in the land: the dreaded Backblades.<br> <br> Now, they must plot their way through the city's winding roads, and survive long enough to determine who paid such a large price for their heads... Also, they're suffering from hunger, sleep deprivation, and they're generally pretty annoyed with each other, so there's a good chance they'll kill each other off before the Backblades can.<br> <br> <b>BLADES IN ELSINGR is the next standalone story in the Lore of the Reluctant series. Sword and sorcery in a high fantasy land where the adventurers are pretty much over it.</b><br> <br> <b>The <i>Lore of the Reluctant</i> series:</b><br> <ul> <li><i>The Outcasts of Vampire Flats</i></li> <li><br></li> <li><i>Blades in Elsingr</i></li> <li><br></li> <li>"Define Heroes"</li> </ul>
