Hand of the Black City: Short Story

Trystan Süll is a Hand of the Iron Will, an emissary of violent intent sent forth from the Black City. He knows nothing of life without discipline and pain, nothing of love or sympathy. He is a living tool, carved of flesh and bone to deal judgment upon the enemies of his masters. There is no place in the world you can hide that he will not find you.

Especially when you're the stragglers of a broken army, traitors fleeing defeat, having earned themselves the cold wrath of the City.
