Four Bastards and a Baby

By: Travis Baldree

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Travis Baldree on a magic-filled adventure in a dangerous new world, where four misfits must work together to escape an ever-changing dungeon.

This hardcover edition features illustrated endpapers, a foil case stamp, and 8 full-page interior illustrations.

Welcome to the Deepdown. A subterranean labyrinth where everything is deadly and the world is ever-changing. The only thing that stays the same is that no one ever escapes.

But Brindle, a sly, unscrupulous half-devil, may just be the first. He’s been charged with a task from the Deepdown itself—transport a mysterious egg up twelve hellish floors and his freedom will be granted.

If he hopes to survive the death traps, monsters, and unspeakable horrors that await, Brindle must recruit the least likely companions possible—a once-bloodthirsty giantess who’s sworn off violence forever, a master tinker harboring a deadly secret, and two enigmatic sisters, one of whom hates his guts, the other imprisoned within a sword.

That would all be trouble enough, but in the Deepdown, things can always get worse. The egg unexpectedly hatches, revealing the most horrifying thing imaginable—a human baby.

This group of misfits, forced to play the dungeon’s game over and over, finally have a shot at freedom. But they'll have to decide what—or who—they’re willing to sacrifice to get it.
