Blackwine and the Broken Blade

by Coltrane IX

Karth Blackwine wakes in a gutter with no memory, half a sword, and a sorcerer's brand burned fresh into his palm. The brand means someone owns him. The broken blade means he killed his way out of wherever they kept him. Now he has until the next full moon to find out which, before the brand finishes what it started. Fast, mean sword-and-sorcery in the old pulp tradition.
