The Smuggler's Deal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986349831)

The relentless pursuit of a fugitive brings a reluctant hunter to a city rife with treachery, where he finds himself at odds with a jaded smuggler.

When Shane zem'Arta fails to capture escaped con artist Daeven Kritcher, his reputation is put on the line. The Freeland spire lords he works for do not forgive easily. Leaving his crew behind, he chases Kritcher up the coast of Palimar to the seaside city of Estbye.

Shane reunites with Jon Therman, a smuggler with his own dubious agenda. Their goals align, but Shane's target is no slouch. With the help of Jon's clever daughter, Ella, Shane closes in on Kritcher. But things never seem to go Shane's way, especially in this city.

The Smuggler's Deal, a companion novella to K. R. Solberg and C. R. Jacobson's flintlock fantasy novel, Remnant, presents an intriguing introduction to the world of Palimar, where immortals rule from splendid temples and their enemies lurk in grand towers. In this treacherous world of cults, magic, and guns, only the most cunning mortals survive.

This page-turning story is a prequel for The Palimar Saga, a gripping epic series filled with intrigue, and high-stakes adventure. With a richly detailed world reminiscent of works like The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss and The Powder Mage Trilogy by Brian McClellan, enter a realm where immortals walk among us, and every action carries weighty consequences.
