Mogsy’s Pick
Blackwing by Ed McDonald (October 3, 2017 by Ace Books)
A debut dark fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic frontier with shades of horror? This sounds like it has some serious potential.
Under a cracked and wailing sky, the Misery is a vast and blighted expanse, created when the Engine, the most powerful weapon in the world, was unleashed against the immortal Deep Kings. Across the wasteland, teeming with corrupted magic and malevolent wraiths, the Deep Kings and their armies are still watching—and still waiting.
Ryhalt Galharrow is no stranger to the Misery. The bounty hunter journeys to a remote outpost, armed for killing both men and monsters, and searching for a mysterious noblewoman. He finds himself in the middle of a shocking attack by the Deep Kings, one that should not be possible. Only a fearsome show of power from the very woman he is seeking saves him.
Once, long ago, he knew the woman well, and together they stumble onto a web of conspiracy that threatens to unmake everything they hold dear and end the fragile peace the Engine has provided. Galharrow is not ready for the truth about the blood he’s spilled and the gods he’s supposed to serve…”
It could be good 🙂

This is totally new to me but I’m instantly intrigued. I’ll admit that I’m not big on full-on horror because I’m chicken but nonetheless, thanks for putting this on my radar 🙂
