Description
The Twin Cities they may be called, but Grenfell and Grimloche couldn't be more different. Where the former is a shining citadel of wealth and power, the latter was born of chaos and desperation, ruled by a criminal underworld unmatched by any city in the Five Seas. A city such as Grimloche has its own unique flavour of darkness, violence and revenge. All the better to fuel the vengeance of a native son returning home to take back what was violently stolen from him. Stoke has been many things in his life. Slave, pirate, mercenary, thief, grifter, con man. But a heist gone wrong nearly cost him his life, at the hands of a former friend, and he has returned home on a mission fueled by a hunger to regain his former life and everything that he lost, no matter how bloody the cost. Joined by a crew of miscreants, muscle, magicians and at least one ex-girlfriend, Stoke hatches an ambitious and insane confidence game, all to get revenge on his past and get his two stones worth of gold back, no matter how much of the city he has to bleed. A mission of vengeance, redemption, and a fierce and deadly determination to turn the underworld of Grimloche on its arse and empty its pockets....or die trying.
