In Juniper City, the life of a mercenary is often a short one, yet for many it's the only choice they have. The cruel nobles rule the upper city and violent gangs the lower. Inbetween there are the mercenaries, most just wanting to live to see another day. The succesful become akin to celebrities, closing the gap between noble and dweller.
Gunnar Vaen, however does not seek success, with a disdain for both nobles and body enhancements, his only goal is to pay rent. Yet, when a mysterious noble comes to him with a job to deal with a slowly growing drug epidemic, he can't help let his curiosity get the better of him. Even if the job stinks to high heaven.
I'm experimenting with the title, let me know if you prefer it to the last!
This is a cyberpunk novel with an attempt at a light sprinking of grimdark, inspired by Necromunda and as you may have guessed, Cyberpunk 2077. I am slowly editing the story with advice and feedback, so always grateful to hear more!
This is the first book in the setting of The Ring and the first book in the series that follows Gunnar Vaen.
Real cover is currently on the way! Yay!
