Books like Discourse in Steel by Paul S. Kemp
Egil the warrior-priest and Nix the rogue, once famed for daring heists, now run a tavern with a side business as a brothel. Their peaceful life is disrupted when two sisters offend a notorious thieves' guild.
The duo is called upon to defend their honor and protect the sisters, drawing them into a deadly conflict with cutthroats who will not hesitate to swing swords. Along the way they chase a chance to enrich themselves.
The journey culminates in the Blackalley, a ghostly byway that lures unsuspecting travelers into a deadly maw, and only a fool or a madman would willingly enter – a test that Egil and Nix may be both.
