missingvolumeI’m not sure why I hadn’t read this when it first came out but I’m glad that I finally did. The novella can be read without knowing anything about the world setting. Young Penric on his way to get betrothed stops to help some people and instead become the recipient of a demon from priestess of the Bastard God. Not trained in the religious arts he is viewed with suspicion as he is taken to the head of the order. The church has a few demons that are passed upon death to specially selected candidates and Penric certainly isn’t one of them.
This is a great self-contained story that doesn’t require any knowledge of the other works since this is set between the books but since there is two centuries between them there is nothing from the books given away.
