The Third Book. Yarmian Eventyde, #5

Book Five of the series finds Yarmian Eventyde in Brenneth, lovely in Albionus' day, and not looking too shoddy in Mister Yarren's either. The young WIzzen welcomes the prospect of wintering in his new and comfortable surrounds, but alas, the fleeting moments of pleasure his stepfather warned about have led Yarmian into making a terrible error... searching for the elusive third book in the Permanentus Permanentarium trilogy, and very publicly at that.
His search has drawn him to the attention of a suspicious one-armed character, Iarnus of Brenneth, and this in turn leads Yarmian far from the comforts of a warm pub, a warm bed, and something warm in it... The Third Book seems to promise a journey from which there can be no return, and the first steps of that journey leads Yarmian from The Black Horse to a distant mountain range, and to a benighted town held in thrall to a mad warlord, Morrok-Han, and his ancient sorcerer, Gurnan...
