After harrowing adventure and near death, Prince Jalan Kendeth and the Viking Snorriver Snagason find themselves in possession of Loki's key, an artifact capable of opening any door and sought by the most dangerous beings in the Broken Empire—including the Dead King. Jal wants only to return home to his wine, women, and song, but Snorri has his own purpose for the key: to find the very door into death, throw it wide, and bring his family back into the land of the living. And as Snorri prepares for his quest to find death's door, Jal's grandmother, the Red Queen, continues to manipulate kings and pawns toward an endgame of her own design... "The Liar's Key is a book that, once started, is near impossible to put down, immersing the reader in a world seen through a unique pair of eyes, a tale narrated with its own distinctive style." —Starburst "A pure blend of dark magic and adventure, this book launches Jalan's saga to a whole new level." —The Biblio Sanctum
