Death's Baby Sister (Death-Cursed Wizard)

Don’t interrupt a murderer’s retirement.Bib the sorcerer, the most accomplished murderer of his time, finds his gently-alcoholic retirement crushed by the gods when he learns they’ve tricked him into finding new sorcerers that the gods can drive mad and drain of power.One of these sorcerers flees to Bib, a mouthy teenager named Manon, with calamitous, untrained powers. Apart from that, she’s like any twelve-year-old - she hates everybody and refuses to do as she’s told. Bib agrees to protect her and take her to a safe place where she can learn to not accidentally turn people into sand or make it rain whales.Bib and the girl must evade zealots who have been terrorized by insane sorcerers and who now mutilate and murder every sorcerer they find. The cruel Goddess of the Unknowable reaches out to claim Manon and destroy Bib. However, the petty God of Death demands that Bib kill the girl, and Bib calls him an eyeball-scraping nugget of filth, which means no - for now.Bib and Manon struggle to defeat obstacles and find a refuge, but he begins to suspect that the gods are playing games with thousands of human lives, and they’re manipulating him into killing as many as possible.As paths of escape narrow, Bib and Manon must defeat overwhelming odds to vanquish their enemies, protect future sorcerers, save the innocent populace, and save themselves.And if they can’t save everyone, decide who will die.If you enjoy Terry Pratchett, Robert Bevan, Josh Erikson, Terry Mancour, or Jonathan L. Howard, you’ll love the irreverent and highly-addictive Death-Cursed Wizard Series.
