A Small Hate: A Grimdark Fantasy Novella in a World Beyond Saving
The sequel to the smash hit City of Chains series!
The Fifth Baron ruled Adelstrad for five glorious years. Then the Killenstorm scorched the skies with arcane horror and turned the air to poison.
Conraed's an impoverished cutthroat with precious few moral scruples, reduced to a rusty sword and his last oxygen canister. In the slums, that's just enough for a man to carve out his fortune.
Tonight's job sounded easy. Kill a butcher who sparked a salvage riot and sell his corpse. Then everything went to hell.
A genocidal nature cult wants the city to die verdant, drowning in vines. Conraed just landed at the top of their leader's purge list.
Adelstrad will quake with the consequences.
