The Grim Company – Luke Scull

The difference between a hero and a killer lies in the ability to justify dark deeds.  But this is the Age of Ruin.  And there are no heroes…

The grey granite walls of Dorminia rise to three times the height of a man, surrounding the city on all sides save for the south, where the Broken Sea begins.  The stone is three-foot thick at its weakest point, and can withstand all but the heaviest assault.  The Crimson Watch patrol the streets even as Salazar’s Mindhawks patrol the skies.

The Grey City was not always so.  But something has changed.  Something has broken at its heart.  Perhaps the wild magic of the dead gods has corrupted Dorminia’s Magelord, as it has the earth itself.  Perhaps Salazar’s desperate lust for power has finally quenched his last spark of humanity.  Or perhaps this iron-fisted tyranny is no more than the consequence of a lifetime of dark deeds…

Still, pockets of resistance remain.  Rebels meet in the ruined sanctuaries of long-dead gods.  Their hope of change is dwindling; their numbers weak and scattered.  But when two formidable Highlanders save the life of a young rebel, it proves the foundation of an unlikely fellowship.  A fellowship united against tyranny, yet composed of self-righteous outlaws, crippled turncoats and amoral mercenaries.  A grim company.  But with the world entering the Age of Ruin, this is not a time of heroes…
