註釋In a frontier town, depraved and lawless, life is harder than elsewhere and the situation can't get any better if you're as ugly as death.
When Zira, the barmaid in the worst tavern on the port manages to find a new job, she has no idea she'd be the only one to know when the destruction of the city and its inhabitants would occur.
To make matters worse, she has to deal with a deadly and uncontrollable trunk, a crazed alchemist and creatures with whom the barmaid would never want anything to do.

"I'm not carrying anything if you don't tell me what this stuff is!"
"Didn't you want an adventure? Here it is." Zira placed a hand on the slimy lid.
"We've got less than two hours before this thing destroys the city. Will you help me now?"
"By 'destroy' you mean..."
"I mean exactly that. We'll be less than dust."
"How the hell do you know?"
"I..."
How could she summarize all that had happened from when she first found that message on the tavern's beam up until now and give a plausible explanation?
"...I am a witch."
Piluk let out a long whistle that vibrated between his rabbit teeth. "That explains the face and all the rest. I can't believe it! I'm going to be the assistant of a witch!"
"Yeah, sure. Now take that damn handle and help me lift it!"
Piluk nodded vigorously, with his protruding ears tomato-red from the excitement.

===============================================

"Ugly as Death" is the second adventure, full of action, in the world of Altro Evo, Sword & Sorcery fantasy novel, adventurous and self-contained.

This is not an epic story about heroes, but rather a series of novels about petty thieves, bounty hunters, unsuccessful alchemists and tavern women, that move through the narrow streets of the worst district of the city. The characters cross each other's paths and affect each other's stories, getting in or ending up in big troubles and often in humorous situations. Intrigue, betrayal, mystery, magic out of control and monstrous creatures, that's what you'll find in Altro Evo.
