He is immune to lies, and can see volumes of information in the smallest detail.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that\u2019s all he knows. His real name, his history &#8211; all stolen by an unknown foe.<\/p>\n<p>Without memory or purpose, Cipher can only follow his instinct to find bad people, and hit them until they stop doing bad things. Joining a crime-fighting cavalry unit in a remote corner of the Dragon Empire, he finds himself allied with a singing orc, an indecisive elf, and a flying carpet that doesn&#8217;t like heights. Together they\u2019ll take on a crazy halfling death cultist, a love-maddened alchemist, a charming drunkard dog-thief, a blinded arch-demon in chains, and the bizarre Mantischorgoth.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Forgotten Monk<\/em> is a high fantasy and high adventure novel, woven into a story of strong friendships, deadly hatreds, ingenious criminal mysteries and baffling affairs of the heart.<\/p>\n<h3>About the author:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Greg Stolze<\/strong> was born in 1970 and grew up alongside the World Wide Web.
