How to Trick a Demon

By James Maxstadt

Book 1 of the Black Friar Quest - a completed epic fantasy series.

"an exhilarating read that hooks you from the first page and doesn't let go"- Amazon reviewer

Step into the Gray Friar Inn-where monsters drink, heroes hide, and the wrong question can get you killed.

When a farm boy named Shane arrives searching for his missing friend, he stumbles into a world far darker than he imagined. Trolls argue over frogmead, dwarves guard dangerous secrets, and whispers of the dreaded Black Friars chill even the bravest hearts.

To survive, Shane will need allies.
To win, he'll need courage.

And to trick a demon...

he'll need more than either.

Lyra Steelclaw thought she had left adventuring behind.

She's slain beasts, outwitted champions, and carved her name into the songs of bards. Now she just wants to run the Gray Friar Inn, pour drinks, keep the peace, and pretend the loaded crossbow under the bar is only for decoration.

But fate has other plans.

Packed with sharp humor, unforgettable characters, and fast-paced adventure, How to Trick a Demon is perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Nicholas Eames.

Pull up a chair at the Gray Friar Inn and discover a world where:

- heroes aren't always ready
- villains aren't always human
- and even demons can be fooled... if you know the trick.

Start the adventure today and see if Shane is clever enough to outwit destiny.
