In the Palace of Shadow and Joy by D.J. Butler
D.J. Butler tries his hand at the two-loveable-rogues-for-hire story and mostly succeeds.
Our two loveable rogues are Indrajit Twang and Fix. Indrajit is the poet of his very small clan of people. He has come to the great city of Kish to find (he hopes) an apprentice who can learn the epic poem of his race so it can be passed down to the next generation. If he does not succeed, all of the history and culture of these few hundred people will be lost.
