Synopsis

The third book in a rollicking fantasy series where the grit of grimdark meets a police procedural, and it's up to two watchmen to protect the streets of one of fantasy's most dangerous cities.
Yenara is a sprawling, dirty city. Filled to bursting with heroes questing, mages testing out spells, thieves around every corner, elves judging everyone, dwarves hating everyone, orcs fighting everyone, and humans being typical humans. Enter Rem and Torval: one a human, the other a dwarf, and both working as Watchwardens.
Now, they must escort a notorious thief through a dangerous forest to the nearby city from where the thief escaped. But the thief's companions are waiting, and the soldiers Rem and Torval travel with might not be so honorable.

Good company is the third novel in this sprawling fantasy series by author Dale Lucas and is best described as the grit of grimdark meets a police procedural.

Goodreads review by Attika on July 14, 2021

This book... disappointed. No getting around it. I think three major things caused this: #1. The author, when describing scenery, really likes to hear himself talk. I mean, he really goes on and on. Describing scenery should be done in depth (if at all) for one of two reasons: a.) to create mood or a......more

"A glorious tour through fantasy's seamier side, complete with irreverent dwarves and rabble-rousing orcs, mages, and humans.

"Fans of diverse cityscapes, mismatched buddy cops, and high adventure will relish this fantasy series launch."—Library Journal on The Fifth Ward: First Watch

"Dale Lucas tells a rambunctious tale that sends the two watchmen into the worst parts of Yanara, fighting orcs and dealing with elves. The case is far bigger than either expected and leads to villainy that is actually illegal in the city. I can't wait for the next case."—University City Review on The Fifth Ward: First Watch

"A well-written adventure."—Cannonball Read on The Fifth Ward: First Watch
