Son of a Liche

By J. Zachary Pike

Book Overview

Still bruised and heartbroken from their last calamitous quest, Gorm Ingerson and his band of washed-up heroes try to make amends for the orcs they accidentally betrayed. But justice is put on hold when an old foe marches to the city gates. Gorm is horrified to discover a liche pitching the frightened city-dwellers on the merits of the undead lifestyle...at the head of a corpse army.

To save the city from high-pressure sales tactics and an inevitable siege, the dwarf warrior and his misfit band hatch a harebrained scheme that lands them at the top of the king's kill list. With death and dark magic on his heels, Gorm must craft his own pitch to round up the troops and put the undead snake-oil salesman and his army of pushers permanently out of business.

Son of a Liche is the second book in The Dark Profit Saga, a trilogy of humorous epic fantasy novels. If you like rib-tickling shenanigans, second-rate heroes, and imaginative new takes on tired tropes, then you'll love J. Zachary Pike's hilarious blend of finance and high fantasy.

Customer Reviews

Excellent sequel to Orconomics, much longer.

With how much I loved Orconomics, I was very excited to continue the Dark Profit Saga and get more of Gorm and friends. It's such a good read, though the book is about twice as long as its predecessor. I had a great time reading it and can't wait to start Dragonfired.
