Nicely Strongoak, Master Detective and Shield-for-Hire, now coming to you via Harper Voyager in his first full adventure: The Case of the Dead Elf.
NOW WITH HIS OWN WEBSITE: Nicely Strongoak.com
"Sword and sorcery? Don’t make me laugh. This is the Newest Age and we’ve got steam wagons, picture houses and speech horns and all the various peoples of Widergard, Men, Goblins, Elves, Gnomes and the Pix have to get by as best as they can - especially in the seething metropolis that is The Citadel in High Summer. Crime never went away either and down these mean, cobbled streets a Dwarf has to walk tall. Oh yes, Dwarfs are still around as well – and that’s where I come in. I’m Nicely Strongoak, Dwarf Master Detective and Shield-for-Hire."
