Scarlet Blade (Walking Shadow Book 2)

Corinth City has a murder problem...

Ten years have passed since Gormon Hughes joined the Scarlet Citadel. Now a legendary agent of its power, Hughes is confronted by a much darker legend. A recent spate of killings has been tied to the old story of Spring-Heeled Jack. Approached by a grizzled officer from his home District, Hughes commits himself to solving the mystery. Does Jack really exist, or is he just a myth?

While Hughes works against the clock to untangle the clues and crack the case, his girlfriend Cate Jubilee is tasked with crossing into another world with the largest ever retinue of Scarlet Citadel fighters. In hostile territory she will face off against monsters more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined.

Join Hughes and Cate as they battle the odds in this monster-hunting, crime-solving caper.

Created by one of the writers of the award winning game of the year Baldur's Gate 3. Fans of the weird and wonderful tales of Stephen King and the Soulslike video game genre will find themselves thrilled and transported by the sequel to Scarlet Citadel.
