Author Daniel Arenson definitely took some chances writing this story.  Everyone one of the five main characters has a significant flaw that results in them being banished from their homan and branded as a disgrace.  In a more realistic story they might have become bitter fugitives and turned into thugs and bandits.Instead, Daniel gave the a sense of honor, brought them together and has them decide to become a very unorthodox band of mercanaries.  They stumble through the rest of the tale as the warlock who killed the parts of 3 of the mercenaries continues to stalk them.Sadly, for a story that starts with such a silly premise there isn't a lot of humor in the tale.  The misfit heroes see quite a bit of strife both within the group and from the near constant attacks by the warlock.It was a fun read, and I'm looking forward to what will happen in book 2.  I recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy, especially if they have experience playing RPGs.
