"Band of Four" is a darkly comedic fantasy series by Ed Greenwood, drawing heavily from the world of The Kingkiller Chronicle. The story follows a mismatched group of adventurers—a disgraced mage, a stoic warrior, a cunning thief, and a compassionate healer—as they navigate dangerous quests and grapple with personal demons in a world steeped in ancient magic and unsettling humor. It distinguishes itself through its sharp wit, morally grey characters, and exploration of grief and trauma alongside traditional fantasy elements.
