Nectar for the God

Mennik Thorn - Book 2

In the city of Agatos, nothing stays buried forever.

Only an idiot would ignore his debt to a high mage, and Mennik Thorn is not an idiot, no matter what anyone might say. He’s just been … distracted. But now he’s left it too late, and if he doesn’t obey the high mage’s commands within the day, his best friends’ lives will be forfeit. So it’s hardly the time to take on an impossible case: proving a woman who murdered a stranger in full view is innocent.

Unfortunately, Mennik can’t resist doing the right thing – and now he’s caught in a deadly rivalry between warring high mages, his witnesses are dying, and something ancient has turned its eyes upon him.

The fate of the city is once again in the hands of a second-rate mage. Mennik Thorn should have stayed in hiding.

Reviews

"I liked Nectar for the God even more than I did Shadow of a Dead God. The mystery is just as intriguing, the pacing remains brisk and builds momentum, and the humor is still sharp." - Kevin's Corner

"The pace doesn't diminish the characters or its world building. It is a real skill to maintain such a balance and sustain it throughout the story but Samphire manages it exceptionally well.

"This is an engaging and exciting book with a central character you cheer on for his resilience." - Phil Parker's Speculative Faction
