The Silent Dirge of Kovnyigrad
By @john1208
In the smog-choked city of Kovnyigrad, Vigilant Olen Baranov is the rising star of the Iron Chancellors, a man whose dedication to the law is matched only by his cheeky disregard for authority. His latest assignment: to bring down Inessa Raskova, the infamous 'Iron Vixen' whose brutal tactics have secured her a chokehold on the city's Cinderstone trade. She is a monster in the eyes of the public, a ruthless tyrant responsible for countless ruined lives. But as Olen infiltrates her territory, he finds cracks in her iron-clad facade. He sees a woman secretly funneling medicine to the slums and protecting orphans from the very system he serves. He soon realizes that Inessa's criminal empire is a shield, built to expose a conspiracy reaching the highest echelons of power - a conspiracy born from the same tragedy that has haunted Olen's own past. Now, Olen must decide who the true villains of Kovnyigrad are. Can he uncover the truth before Inessa's lonely war costs her everything, including her life?
