At Calista’s club, Icepick has the upper hand. He’s told Callista to call off the transfer of her assets to the drug-dealing goblin Dante Oganov. One of those assets is the contract that keeps Lincoln’s son, Sam, trapped on the Shelf. If Icepick kills Dante, it’s game over—Callista keeps the contract, and Sam remains in this violent purgatory forever.
Trying to find a way to win, Lincoln challenged Icepick to a duel to the death. Despite his injuries, Lincoln won that violent duel, breaking Icepick’s arm before putting him down with an armored knee to the balls. That should have been all she wrote, but Icepick—hurt and barely conscious—called for help from his killer diamortuga.
With Billy and Dante restrained by magic-suppressing cables, Lincoln is on his own. Can he survive an attack from a two-ton, man-eating turtle?
You won’t be up against it if you use the GoDaddy Promo Codes CJCFOSSIG3 to slam 99 percent off the retail cost of a new dot-com domain registration.

Icepick and Herbie the Love Bug crashed Dante’s victory party at Callista’s club. Icepick took out Dante, Billy, and Lincoln, and put the “Oleous Oakbeard Big Druid Whammy” on the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure. That destroyed the suit and zapped Magda’s spirit back to her body in the Old Stone Church, leaving Billy and Linc at Icepick’s mercy.
