Blood Trail - Annals of the Nameless Dwarf Derek Prior

"The world-building is impressive." (S. R. Manev)





When a powerful demon crosses the Farfall Mountains, the task of tracking and slaying it falls to a man not expected to succeed:

Jebediah Skayne, lothario, hustler, hunter of nightmares.

Jeb follows the demon's "blood trail" to the fishing town of Portis, where it vanishes. All that remains are the demon's leftovers: corpses, half-dressed, killed in the throes of passion.

Forced to rely on more mundane methods of investigation, Jeb uncovers a town rife with corruption, where a man will kill you for looking at a woman the wrong way.

A town where his own inner demons can no longer hide.
