Shadow of the Crimson Throne

When one war ends, another begins.After seven years of bloodshed, the Crimson Guard has returned to Tare'Envel. The gangs that once ruled the Undercity made a single fatal mistake: hiring the thief Kestus Quickhand to steal from the King. The heist succeeded-and shattered the city's fragile balance.Now the Undercity fractures as gangs are hunted, families torn apart, and the King tightens his grip. Beneath the streets, something far darker than politics begins to stir.Kestus should be dead. Instead, he hides under the protection of a powerful noble and his silent, iron-clad knight, training to master a stolen artifact that bends reality itself. The power could save the city-or destroy him.As whispers of forbidden rituals rise and the Hushed fade from sight, Kestus is drawn into a conflict far greater than any gang war.In a city ruled by blood and fear, survival demands sacrifice.
