The Blighted City

Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
"To challenge the gods is to invite their wrath." So it is written of Lachyla, the Blighted City, in the Codex of the Ages. But who reads codices? And who really believes the tall stories of the Taleweavers? Dagra does. He was raised on such tales, and if it's anything to do with the gods - even a dead god - he believes every word. When his team of sellswords are offered a contract to cross the Deadlands in search of Lachyla, he wants no part of it. His companions aren't so daunted by the city's grim legend. To them, it's superstitious nonsense. Obtaining the burial jewel from the crypt of their client's ancestor could earn them the bounty of a lifetime and give their failing guild the reputation it desperately needs. They're going, with or without him. Torn between the tenets of his faith and the prospect of losing his friends on the perilous journey, he reluctantly agrees to venture to a place the gods have long since forsaken. In the Blighted City, the laws of nature are cast into the Pit, blurring the divide between the living and the dead. Dagra's long-held beliefs are strained to breaking point as he confronts the ghastly truth - that Lachyla's foul seed is much darker than its legend.------------------------------------The Blighted City is a dark epic fantasy / grimdark adventure for adults and mature teens. As the first novel in The Fractured Tapestry series, it can also be read as a stand-alone story."Death cures all diseases passed on by dead things." - Sosarran Proverb
