New K. J. Parker Novel #1

There's no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick hings up as you go along. Swords, armour, arrows - and the bodies, of course. Over the years, Saevus Corax has picked up a lot things. Some of them have made him decent money, others have brought nothing but trouble. But it's a living, and somebody has to deal with the dead. Something else that Saevus has buried is his past. Unfortunately, he didn't quite succeed."--Provided by publisher.
