The grit of grimdark meets a police procedural with this rollicking debut fantasy series where two watchmen protect the streets of one of fantasy’s most harmful cities.

A member of the Yenara Town guard has gone missing. At fault could be the usual suspects: drug-dealing orcs, mind-controlling elves, uncooperative mages, or humans being typical human beings.

It’s up to two reluctant partners — Rem, a miscreant who joins the View to pay off his bail, and Torval, a maul-wielding dwarf who’s highly unimpressed using the untrained Rem — to uncover the truth and capture the murderer loose within their fair city.

‘A brilliant idea, wonderfully told. A town that breathes, and heroes you can’t help but main for.’ — Nicholas Eames, writer of Kings from the Wyld

‘A glorious tour through fantasy’s seamier aspect. A wilder ride than Middle Globe, and you’ll like every minute from it!’ — Jon Hollins, author of the Dragon Lords series
