Jashandar's Wake: Book Two: Unclean Places

Jaysh and Brine have their backs against a wall: Royal subjects are fleeing, rivers run black, the bulk of the livestock are being wadded into mush. Our heroes would love to deploy troops against these happenings, but sadly they have no troops to deploy. All able-bodied soldiers have been called upon to occupy the Mad Man’s Pass, the one place in Jashandar where actual people are being slaughtered. Jaysh and Brine have no choice in the matter; they must now venture into the unclean places of their land.
