Step up to the gates.

After years in the wilds, Lenk and his companions have come to the city that serves as the world's beating heart.

And Lenk has come to lay down his sword for good.

But this is no place to escape demons.

Praise for this book

"Monstrous, murderous, psychotic, deranged, possessed, and insane-the only question is what our heroes hate more: the demons they're fighting or themselves." - Stephen Deas

"Sam Sykes does blood and noise in the liveliest tradition of contemporary fantasy, with all the brash vigor of youth, and with a sly, penetrating sensitivity all his own. Not many writers can give you fireworks and subtlety at the same time like he can." - Scott Lynch
