phenomen a book

When his life spins out of control, a gnome fakes his death and goes on the run, hoping a distant relative can take him in. When that fails, and with no other options, he falls in with a flamboyant adventurer-turned-fugitive whose only fear is obscurity. With only the barest hint of a plan, they set out across a kingdom scarred by war, and filled with factions competing for wealth and power.
