The Scourge of Demon Metal
The castle slasher is dead, killed by Risley Romlin to save his beloved Nella, but Castellan Dubric finds more death in the slasher’s secluded lair along with a terrifying corruption, a substance so vile none but the corrupted can look upon it, let alone touch it. He knows someone else has been killing and collecting death in ways he hasn’t seen since The War. Someone who corrupted the castle slasher. Someone who wields the scourge of Demon Metal.
Meanwhile, Risley’s taken Nella to the nearby village of Klinder to rest and heal and plan their future together. They think it’s quiet and safe, but they soon learn the killing’s not over, not yet.
Because this new threat is in the village, watching the young couple and the soldier assisting them. He has a score to settle and Dubric’s too far away to stop him this time.
