The world’s oldest profession is not for the faint of heart, nor for the unresourceful. A beautiful moon over night-time Paris, a chance encounter with a charismatic stranger and some on-your-feet thinking is all you need to find yourself plunging headlong toward a new destiny.
Paris, the City of Lights.
The splendor of it makes you lift your eyes to the sky, and while you’re distracted, the crafty old city will sneak up behind you and pickpocket your heart.To be young and adventurous in a city like that is a wondrous thing, and by the time you leave you’ll find yourself changed in ways you can scarcely understand.
Owen Zelazny is young, and with Q. I. Malloy for a companion, adventure is a certainty. In this story, meticulously illustrated by Krahnos and magnificently colored by Fel, we follow these two scoundrels in a much happier time, when they were young and free and wicked.
It doesn’t matter that we can see the road being laid that will lead them toward Maranatha, and the terrible fates that await them there. It doesn’t matter that we can see them faced with choices between paths that could, if they had only chosen better, have guided them to quieter and safer lives. It doesn’t matter at all.
Because while you’re in this city’s embrace, nothing is impossible.
And no matter how badly you make your choices, you can never regret where you made them.
