📘 Blackwing by McDonald, Ed (Fantasy fiction author)

Blackwing is a dark fantasy set on a ruined frontier plagued by the remnants of a devastating war with the immortal Deep Kings. The Engine, a terrifying weapon, holds the blighted Misery at bay and protects a fragile front line. Ryhalt Galharrow, a hardened bounty hunter who has lived under the Misery’s cracked sky for twenty years, is tasked with locating a masked noblewoman at a frontier outpost. His mission spirals into an unexpected clash with the Deep Kings, who seem to have grown wary of the Engine’s power. The attack is repelled only by Lady Ezabeth Tanza, a shadow from Galharrow’s past who possesses formidable powers. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that could unravel the peace that the Engine has preserved, forcing Galharrow to confront the blood he has spilled and the gods he serves.
