The Pale City

The Pale City is a character-driven story about a mercenary searching for the last and most powerful artifact of a sorcerer who disappeared lifetimes ago. The world’s children crawl out of tunnels in the ground, and a lone city beneath the gaze of a silent god is home to strange cults that eat the dead. The search brings the mercenary into conflict with powerful people in hidden places and leads toward a secret buried in terrible darkness.
