Nectar for the God - Patrick Samphire - Bog

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.
