John Vanguard walks the gaslit streets of D’Orsee, a city choking on corruption and crime. Once a soldier, now a mercenary for a crooked captain, Vanguard hunts criminals while battling his own shameful past as a deserter. He seeks redemption, but in a city like D’Orsee survival often means compromise.
When he crosses paths with Tarryn Leersac, a fallen aristocrat turned would-be assassin, Vanguard reluctantly takes on the role of mentor. Together, they plunge into the underbelly of the city to solve the murder of two guards and unravel a mystery tied to revolution, missing nobles, and old war secrets.
We Men of Ash and Shadow is grimdark at its finest—a tale of betrayal, loyalty, and redemption where no one escapes unscathed.
