Rise of the Nimbus
After a botched coup within the Mercenary Guild left him on the run, Rylan Aylward fled to the lawless world of Lausgaiegüse, where his skills as a mercenary and now hitman kept him alive—but barely. At 22, Rylan has spent his entire life following orders: from his strict upbringing on Silopth to the Mercenary Academy and now the petty crime bosses of Lausgaiegüse. But he’s had enough of being someone else’s tool.
In this sprawling Ecumenopolis, where gangs enforce brutal laws and survival is a daily struggle, Rylan realizes he must take his future into his own hands. However, in a city built on ambition, every move has its consequences. As he begins to assert himself, Rylan must navigate a volatile underworld of power-hungry factions and dangerous rivals—knowing that one wrong move could put him in the crosshairs.
