4-6Shield, Sword, and Crown series.
Pickpocket-turned-law-clerk Weasel has two weeks to save his employer from execution. With girl-adventurer Arisa Benison, Weasel goes in search of reinforcements for a jail break. Although Weasel's oft-stated philosophy of looking out for number one is never made credible, Bell soon dispenses with it and settles down to a good old-fashioned trickster caper. This offering sustains Bell's reputation for thought-provoking light fantasy.
