Sky Joust: The Purple Onion vs. The Pestilence

by Will Madden

In a city ruled by crime, I grew up sheltered by wealth and status. But when my mother was slain in the gang wars, I vowed revenge on the underworld. By any means necessary . . .

In my quest to uncover her killer, beating up bad guys isn’t enough. I make them confess to their crimes. All of them. Until they weep fat hot tears of who’s-your-daddy.

But I’m not the only one with a thirst for vengeance.

Centuries ago, modern weapons humiliated an elite order of knights who once terrorized the city. Now with technological new lances and mechanically enhanced horses, their descendants have sworn to satisfy an ancient grudge.

Worst of all, they have stolen the secret to the form-fitting body armor that makes me nigh-invulnerable.

Through bustling shopping districts and the sleepy suburbs, I’ll disrupt their ride of carnage. But to rein them in for good, I’ll have to beat them at their own game – in a high-octane joust across the night sky!

Hopefully, stomping out this threat will bring me one step closer to finding my mom’s killer. But I have a hunch I won’t like where the next clue leads me . . .
