by IanJames

ActionAdventureFantasyGrimdarkMale Lead

They call New Calver the City of Knives for a reason. Jack survives on quick hands, sharper instincts, and the good sense to disappear when things turn ugly. This time, he was too slow. A routine job gone bad. His partner Kate missing. The city closing in. Gangsters. Assassins. The relentless Hands of Justice. All hunting the same secret for reasons he doesn't yet understand. Every answer pulls him in deeper. In New Calver, the truth gets you killed. And Jack is getting closer to it by the hour.
