When the shadows come alive, blood is the only answer…
After narrowly surviving the underlings’ wrath, Venir the Darkslayer returns to the City of Bone—a corrupt fortress of deceit, danger, and old vendettas. His reward? More chaos.
The underling lords Catten and Verbard are back, darker and deadlier than ever, hellbent on destroying the mythic warrior who humiliated them. But they aren’t the only ones out for blood. Royals plot in smoky chambers. Man-urchins haunt the alleyways. And old flames like Jarla, Queen of the Brigands, burn with revenge.
With his streetwise companion Melegal, Venir plunges deeper into a brutal world of assassins, betrayal, and blades in the dark. But even the Darkslayer can’t fight fate forever. And fate wants a reckoning.
Perfect for fans of: gritty sword and sorcery, dark fantasy, and battle-tested antiheroes. Think Conan the Barbarian meets The Witcher with a D&D edge.
