Queenslayer

By: Seabury, Erik L.

Disgraced guard uncovers a living city's murderous cycle and turns its weapon back against it.
The city of Amber has always fed its Queen through the hunger of its outer districts, the black resin that seeps from failing walls, and the children who drink it when there is nothing else. The outer tier starves while the Crown stores abundance. The cruelty looks like corruption until Tamen Revenmar learns that it is older and more deliberate than any single ruler.
Tamen served eleven years in the royal guard before the system marked him as something more useful. Beneath the city, he and Sable Virek uncover a biological architecture that selects people for endurance, exposes them to the Rot, and prepares one of them to become the blade that ends a Queen when the cycle reaches its breaking point. The killing brings relief. It also begins the process again.
To stop it, Tamen must use the very changes the Citadel has forced into his body without surrendering the choices that still belong to him. Sable must decide how much trust a survival built on betrayal can bear. Draven Korr, the man who helped maintain the old order, must determine whether knowledge can be used to dismantle the structure that gave it purpose.
Queenslayer is a grimdark epic fantasy about engineered hunger, institutional survival, compromised people, and the dangerous difference between saving a city and becoming necessary to it.
