A Grave Mistake

Adventure doesn't wait for a convenient time to find you.

Elspeth just wants to graduate and get on with her life as a mercenary. Unfortunately, she's got to contend with distracted classmates, disappearing sorceresses, dragonling infestations, and the possible end of the world. Keeping absent-minded wizards and impulsive knights in line is all in a day's work for the former pickpocket, but stopping a conspiracy designed to bring down the hierarchies of both Heaven and Hell might take more than her usual rapier wit, wry humor, and common sense.

If Elspeth is going to survive, the study group she once considered a burden-an elven wizard, an arrogant cavalier, a hapless knight, and a mysterious monk-might have to become her trusted companions. The world might be doomed, but she'll have to try anyway.

Perfect for fans of classic high fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, political intrigue, and wizard schools.
