Arak / Son of Thunder #39

Synopsis

Alsind and Satyricus enlist the aid of a number of supposedly-mythological beasts from Barmak's bestiary to kill the Caliph. However, they find themselves in opposition to Arak, Valda, and Malagigi, who feel duty-bound to protect the ruler. At the end, the various beasts are dead and it looks like Arak will have to fight an enraged Alsind, but Sharizad announces she has joined the Caliph's harem and asks, piercingly, if Alsind will kill her, too. Defeated, Alsind drops his weapons and they all begin searching for the villainous Barmak. But, the basilisk found him first...
