Lore

Black Metro is an independent city at odds with the rising empire. It is governed by one who has the title of Overlord. Might is right but not to the extent of blatant physical violence. After all, there would be no purpose governing a city if all of its subjects were dead! One could say that the city is ruled with a loose, iron fist. A controlled chaos if you will.

Despite the seemingly imposing nature of the city and its inhabitants, it is not a rundown place. On the contrary, there is ample opportunity to rise to power. But only for those ambitious and daring enough to brave their way through whatever stands against them; be that openly or from within the shadows.

The current Overlord of Black Metro intends to vacate his seat of power. Therefore there is an opportunity for a worthy individual to take the mantle and rule over the city. To find a successor, a challenge has been issued to potential candidates.

Testimonials

So I picked up your book yesterday and ended up reading it all! Really enjoyable read and very well written. It was quite an interesting dynamic because I know you (and a lot of your personality comes across) and have played the game. Like in a good way though, I felt even more immersed in the storyline. Really awesome Emesh. And can’t wait to read the next instalment.

Finished your book and really enjoyed it. Very impressive Emesh and of course a great lead into the next instalment where the real war kicks off I expect. It was a strange thing reading it and then occasionally going … hmm wonder what he’s thinking and then going, but hold on a minute I know this author. Well done.
