Scourge Of The Betrayer

A new author, but one who is writing some powerful grimdark with some real zest. Scourge of the Betrayers is sort of a combination of Black Company, The Blade Itself, and Prince of Thorns, all wrapped up in one. And it's delicious indeed. A must read for any fans of some serious hardcore, bloody grimdark.It's gritty gritty good.
