Tension permeates the city of Bleakridge as forces within its walls struggle for supremacy. Soldiers from the south bearing green cloaks and royal seals maintain order in the streets of Bleakridge, ensuring that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow through the port city. In the slums beyond the outer wall, the Sons of the Reaper lurk. Some call them heroes, others villains. But all fear them for their relentless devotion to the old ways and the freedom that entails. In the castle above the city, resides the Earl of Bleakridge. The man who bent the knee and saved the lives of his people, if not their souls. Rich and poor alike are caught in the web of power struggles between these forces, threatening to tip the city into Chaos. --------------- Author's note: This is a full rewrite of the book I posted here several years ago: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/15059/wings-of-sorrow There are obviously some similarities, but the trajectory of the story and fate of many of the characters is very very different. The original is 114,563 words whereas this version is 194,830. Since I felt the need to rework everything, I thought I might as well post it.
