Interested in a rag-tag group of misfit heroes working from the shadows within a dark fantasy/grimdark world? Do you like a character-driven story, dynamic pacing, and legit fight scenes? Do you like watching The Shield Hero? Like the Witcher? Have you read The Blade itself or Way of Kings? A fan of Dark Souls? Or Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning? Maybe you should check this story out. ================ Not everything is as it seems in the peaceful city of Bridgeburg. And like in every city, the people who really run it are rarely the one’s you think. Because after all, it’s not what you know, but who you know. The bustling trade hub of Bridgeburg is as wealthy as it is divided. Money and goods flow hand over fist here, but not positions in society. At least, not until Rivashel Hali, daughter to the wealthiest merchant family, is expected to marry into nobility; a break in tradition that wakes up the entire city. For Vice Captain of the Guard, Gricrir, the commoners' celebrations around these rumors just means more work. For Monk Urberer, it means more shirking of his responsibilities. That is until a person goes missing. Then strange disturbances are noticed on the isle. Little does Urberer and the rest of the ragtag crew realize that the trouble they’re dipping their toes in, is deep and that the tide is rising. ============================== Thanks for checking this out. I'll release chapters regularly.  Note: This is not the final copy/final edit. These are the chapters in the rough as I can get them out much faster than the intensive several layers of editing that I'll do. But everything should be legible enough. Thanks again for reading!
