"Robbing tombs for fun and profit might not be a stable career, by Egil and Nix aren't in it for the long-term prospects. Egil is the hammer-wielding warrior-priest of a discredited god. Nix is a roguish thief with just enough knowledge of magic to conjure up trouble. Together, they seek riches and renown, yet often find themselves enlisted in lost causes - generally against their will. So why should their big score be any different? The trouble starts when Nix and Egil kill the demonic guardian of a long-lost crypt, nullifying an ancient pact made by the ancestors of an obscenely powerful wizard. Now the wizard will stop at nothing to keep that power from slipping away, even if it means freeing a rapacious beast from its centuries-old prison. And who better than Egil and Nix - the ones responsible for his current predicament - to perform this thankless task?"--Back cover.

I was in the mood for a light fantasy adventure — some simple sword and sorcery and this fit the bill. Egil and Nix, our heroes, are respectively a priest of a forgotten god, and a nimble thief. They busy themselves with tomb robbing. But their latest bit of thievery lands sets them in the sights of a twisted family and Egil and Nix have a rough time of it. Good, quick read and fun enough that I'll eventually read the follow-up adventure featuring Egil and Nix as well.
