Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead: Corax Book 1
K. J. Parker
Formats & Editions
There's no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick things up as you go along. Swords, armour, arrows - and the bodies, of course.
Over the years, Saevus Corax has picked up a lot of things. Some of them have made him decent money, others have brought nothing but trouble. But it's a living, and somebody has to deal with the dead.
Something else that Saevus has buried is his past. Unfortunately, he didn't quite succeed.
The first novel in a new epic fantasy trilogy from World Fantasy Award-winner K. J. Parker.
