The Dark Knights - Pain and Redemption Acts I and II

A duelist of darkness, a dragon of pride.  Book 1 of an epic saga.  No fantasy, but a dark fairytale that asks if a world should be allowed destruction or if sacred mercy might be granted by its very executioner. The name is Pain and Redemption, and there is much of the former.  Few are those who will receive the latter.  My world is harsh, and it does not relent.  Half of it was written in hell.  You were warned. But even in that, the story is guided by providence.   Hold on to hope.
