Synopsis of "Broken Blade", first book of "Fallen Blade" by Kelly McCullough: Once a fabled Blade of Namara, Aral Kingslayer fought for justice and his goddess alongside his familiar, a living shadow called Triss. Now with their goddess murdered and her temple destroyed, and their brethren dead or outlawed, they are among the last of their kind. Surviving on the fringes of society, Aral becomes a drunken, broken, and wanted man, working whatever shadowy deal comes his way, working as a shadow jack. He smuggles goods, protects thugs, and occasionally stoops to thievery. Until a mysterious woman named Maylein hires Aral to deliver a secret message with a suspiciously high price for a simple job.
