Hold on to your hats and get ready for another swashbuckling adventure in Tsalmoth, set in Steven Brust's bestselling Vlad Taltos series!

First comes love. Then comes marriage...

More's the pity that his soul is sent walkabout to do it.

How might Vlad get his soul back and have any shot at a happy ending? Well, there's the tale...
