Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery by Kurtis J. Wiebe




Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief are a band of mercenaries for hire that have tried the patience of the town they help protect once to often. When they find themselves sent on a quest that turns out to be a trap set to exterminate them they start to take it personally. Can they figure who's out to get them or will they wind up smeared on the bottom of a troll's foot?



These gals are full of booze, and spite, and everything naughty. Probably some of the feistiest, ass kicking heroines you'll come across engaging with enemies you'll love to see beaten to a pulp. They're a team of crusty warriors but buried deep down is a true bond of friendship that helps them overlook things like having a blood thirsty squid as a religious icon or being a rebel and shaving off your dwarven beard. What sells these gals is that they are as human as the reader. Like it's characters this series is fun, filled with mischief, and too good not to pick up.
