After five hundred years, the Sunken Kingdom has returned, bringing with it a monstrous secret that threatens to destroy every country on the Star.

As an inhuman army gathers on its shores, poised to invade the Immaculate Isles, the members of the Cobalt Company face an ugly choice: abandon their dreams of glory and vengeance to combat a menace from another realm, or pursue their ambitions and hope the Star is still there when the smoke clears.

Five villains. One legendary general. A battle for survival.

A Blade of Black Steel by Alex Marshall is a gripping tale of strife and survival, challenging its characters to the very core as they navigate a world on the brink of chaos.
