Damsels in Arms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453882795)

The city is under siege.
The army is hopeless.
The only volunteers are a tavern keeper and a punk.

Welcome back to the Rampant Damsel Tavern, where trouble is always on tap and common sense is permanently out of stock.

As the armies of mighty Durka surround the city of Lurke, victory seems impossible. Magic has failed. Heroes are in short supply. Military leadership leaves rather a lot to be desired. Fortunately, Brutehilde-the strongest barmaid in the kingdom-and her irrepressible companion Polly have never allowed impossible odds to interfere with a perfectly good adventure.

What follows is an outrageously funny fantasy epic packed with desperate battles, eccentric detectives, improbable inventions, heroic last stands, disastrous military plans, airborne privies, sinister sausage wagons, and enough absurdity to make even the invading army question its life choices.

But beneath the laughter lies a city worth saving, friendships that are tested to breaking point, and consequences that echo long after the jokes have landed.

Perfect for readers who love comic fantasy, humorous epic fantasy, fantasy adventure, sword and sorcery comedy, and satirical fantasy in the tradition of Terry Pratchett, Robert Asprin, Tom Holt and Craig Shaw Gardner.

Return to the world of the Rampant Damsel, where every victory is improbable, every plan is questionable, and absolutely anything can happen.
