In the Realm of Death, nobility means something very different to elsewhere. Get an insight into the excess and madness of the lords of Mhurghast in this chilling tale.
THE STORY
Mhurghast, a great city in the Realm of Death, is a study in contrasts. On the mist-shrouded streets, twisted beggars and broken war veterans scrape out a tortured existence in the chill, while nobles from distant Azyr live in decadence and excess. Alabastian is one such noble, whose ambition and desire to enhance his status is not matched by his skill – until a chance encounter with a mysterious mirror alters his fate forever.

Amid the purple mist-covered streets of Mhurghast, the young scion of the Valenth family, Alabastian, is accosted by a beggar that he rebuffs.
This event initiates a stalking game through the streets, with the beggar always finding ways to find his prey, which comes to an end at the Valenth estate.
"A Moment of Cruelty" is a well-constructed story that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable twists.
Questions like "what's happening?", "what will be the outcome of this?" and "why is this really happening?" are what makes the reader keep on reading and, honestly, what makes you want more.

Predictable, but enjoyable. Some stuff was brought up once and never again, but it had an interesting, if not obvious, payoff.
