Bloodstained Mercy
The Guild's Perfect Blade and a Deadly Midnight Contract

In the smog-choked, gaslit alleys of the Empire's lower districts, magic is strictly outlawed and the criminal underworld reigns. Enter Dylan Hayes: a ruthless assassin with a wry smirk and cold-blooded efficiency. To the street thugs, he is a terrifying ghost story. To the guild, he is the perfect blade—an executioner who balances the ledgers of anyone foolish enough to steal from Guildmaster Walter. After flawlessly dispatching a desperate thief harboring a forbidden magical spark, Dylan expects to vanish back into the shadows. Instead, an urgent midnight summons shatters the guild's ironclad hierarchy. Walter bypasses his lieutenants to offer Dylan a highly secretive, eyes-only contract at the Spire. Step into a gritty world of industrial soot, deadly secrets, and outlawed power. Listen as Dylan dives into a high-stakes mission where one wrong move could summon the lethal Imperial Inquisitors.
