The Devil You Know: A Legends of Lasniniar Short

Book excerpt: (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: The Devil You Know” by Jacquelyn Smith.) Merchants peddle fear in Belierumar. Mothers cling to their children as they walk through the crowded marketplace. Eyes dart as people hurry to make their dubious purchases. Demon-warding amulets. Herbs guaranteed to help victims of possession. Paige inspects them all with a jaundiced eye. The young dwarf woman knows how to deal with demons. Probably better than anyone else in Lasniniar. ...With good reason. In the aftermath of war, a new era begins in this stand-alone story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. (This adventure takes place after the World of Lasniniar novel Harbingers.)
