Arx

<p><strong>A startling character-driven debut of skilled writing and intelligence <i>Arx: City of Broken Minds</i> is a standalone epic of grimdark fantasy.</strong></p><p>In Arx no-one remembers anything. Not the Flame Protests. Not the Sightless executioner. Not even themselves.</p><p>The story unwinds through the tales of <b>three young characters</b>:</p><p><b>Caelan: </b>His memories have been stolen. All he has left is instinct and fear. Fear of the Fog-Eyes mindless and drooling. The emptiness that lies in his future unless he can quiet the nameless voice screaming in his head. And he will burn Arx to ashes to avoid it.</p><p><b>Samantha:</b> an asexual blacksmith and perpetual paternal disappointment knows exactly what she'll be remembered for: Callisteel. A mythic metal that can pierce reality it waits for her beneath the smog that scars the sky black. No matter the cost.</p><p><b>Ruairi:</b> a famer boy with a twisted spine heads to Arx desperate to avoid being pitied. On the way he rescues a man with violet eyes. His reward is a nightmare of blue fire and blood that pushes him to the edge of what his broken body can take - and beyond.</p><p><b>Mindbreakers walk once more in Arx</b> drawn to the spire of unbroken metal that hangs like a blade against the rotten heart of the city. Now their master has returned it is only a matter of time before it awakens and slices the connection between reality and memory for good...</p>
