About this series
In this stand-alone episode:
Karsten and Babette are on the run with magebreakers closing in, but their luck appears to change when they encounter a mysterious crossroads and the unexpected choice it offers: In one direction, the meandering old road. Safe, familiar, and slow. Take it and they'll keep their lead but gain no ground. In the other, the new road. Unproven, unmarked, but with the tantalizing possibility of escape. The only catch? It leads straight into the blighted wasteland known as the Widow's Wrinkles.
Guess which way they go.
Who is the 13th Advocate?
Karsten was once 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 champion of the people.
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.

- The Dowager's Largesse: The 13th Advocate, #1
1
Karsten is a violent man at the end of a violent career, with no greater ambition than to retire to a well-earned life of ease. But a last drink with an old client goes off the rails and now Karsten is left with an impossible choice: enter service to the Dowager Empress or lose a year of his remaining time for every day he resists. That's no choice; that's a life sentence. But you know what? Maybe they should have specified whose life.

And getting grief at every turn from the llama who carries his gear. In this stand-alone episode: Hunted by a creature from dark desert nightmares, Karsten and Babette flee to the port city of Pryloon to seek shelter in its teeming crowds—or more specifically, in the bed of an old friend. Their only chance is to find the mage who controls the creature before it finds them. And hopefully, without upsetting their host, who knows nothing of the trouble they've brought to her door.
