This is the second Novel in the Dead God Trilogy related to the Sword & Sorcery game Scarred Lands.

Now if I could write as well as Byers and live off the income I would be happy, but this series does not have a lot of imagination to it, very few supprises. Almost formulaic. There is a quest and the bad guy keeps putting up road blocks that need to be surmounted, and of course with relitively little difficulty our heros surmount them. It was obviously written by the rules of the game it was to promote. This is not the only Byers books I've read and he's written like this before, you could almost see him throwing the dice in the background to see what happens(weighted in favor of the heros). ( )
