FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT, WE ARE THOSE WHO WILL.
That is the oath that Rook St. Clair has sworn to uphold, delivering a bloody end to the crooked High-Born elite that exploit the indentured Low-Born. Rook is a skilled fighter, a merciless killer and so tired.
As an assassin within the Order of Crows, Rook has always known that his actions are just and right. He knows this, because the Order tells him so. But in a city as corrupt as Kaerlud, one can no longer find the delicate line between right and wrong, leaving Rook jaded from his years of service.
But we all know there is no rest for the wicked. Amid the squalid streets he calls home, lurks a new threat.
THE MERCIFUL SAINT
The enigmatic leader of The Lady of Doves—religious fanatics devoted to excising fear from their lives in honour of a wrathful goddess. And Rook’s next target. Rumours swirl of missing people, twisted rituals, and unholy miracles—but is any of it true? Is the Saint blessed by the goddess or simply another fraud?
As Rook descends into the underbelly of Kaerlud he will unearth truths he cannot fathom, face fear like he has never known and become entrapped in a snare he never noticed was slowly tightening around him.
The Lady of Doves is a grimdark, gaslamp fantasy novel exploring the pitfalls of devotion, the morality of justice and the disillusionment with a cause one would have died for.
