A Pocketful of Shrapnel

"A job that stinks, a noble with unknown intentions and a monster in the shadows."

Gunnar has lived under the radar his entire life, yet when he's approached with a suspiciously well paying job, the mercenary can't help but be curious.

Armed with nothing but a rusted gun and a pocketful of shrapnel, Gunnar's about to get involved in something way above his paygrade.

A bit more detail about the setting: A Pocketful of Shrapnel is set in Juniper City. One of many megacities that make up part of an even greater megacity known as the Ring. The Ring circumnavigates the entire globe upon the equator of a tidally locked planet that humanity settled on centuries ago.

Juniper City is a culture of cruel nobles on top and violent gangs below. Mercenaries sit somewhere in the middle, most take onthe mantle as its the only way for them to survive. Some rise to be stars akin to celebrities, some never make it past their first job. Gunnar sits happily near the bottom, yet always alive and always working. This tale follows Gunnar Vaen as he takes on a job that'll change his life and the life of the city that he lives in.

A bit more detail about the book: 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. I have the second book in the works too, a very basic first draft done and another book in the setting but following a different character.

Real cover is currently on the way! Yay!
