本書介紹

向達倫：「早在獲得故事靈感時，我就知道《細瘦劊子手》會是我最愛的作品！」

好吧！傑貝承認自己的二頭肌的確是「虛弱」得很沒看頭，但就算是這樣，也不需要惹來大家訕笑和輕視的眼光吧？

不過說到底，誰教他偏偏生在名門「斧頭家族」裡呢！老爸快劊是備受敬重、連國王都要禮讓三分的劊子手，砍起頭來行雲流水的「刀法」，三十年來早已成了眾人傳頌的神話，就連大哥傑恩、二哥傑艾也都是魁梧有力的型男，難怪老爸宣布舉行接班人競賽的這一刻，根本完全忘了家裡還有個「小」兒子傑貝！面對這種公開的羞辱，傑貝發誓要讓那些嘲笑他的人都閉上嘴巴！他不禁想起一個古老的傳說：只要能徒步完成「探尋之旅」，到達塗敗崖並獻祭一名奴隸，就能向火神請願，獲得非凡的神力。即使百年來從來沒有人成功，傑貝還是去定了！但是等在他前方的那些不可思議的際遇，也將讓他所熟知的世界天翻地覆……

Jebel Rum is a thin, scrawny boy. His father is the famed executioner in the city where they live. When Jebel is humiliated in public, he sets off on a quest to gain great strength and invincibility. If successful, he will be able to compete in a gruelling contest to prove himself and replace his father as the wielder of the axe. Failure, on the other hands, means certain death.

To win the favour of a fire god, Jebel must make a human sacrifice. He finds a slave who is willing to pay this grisly price, and the pair set off on a trek through lands deadly and unwelcoming. In the course of their travels they will encounter hatred, bigotry, slavery, death and a whole lot more. It is the nightmarish adventure of a lifetime…
