The Dust of Rhll

By: J. F. Meskimen

Narrated by: Daniel MacCannell

A dark sword-and-sorcery adventure for adults featuring cover artwork by the legendary Erol Otus, The Dust of Rhll is J. F. Meskimen's first novel.

Told from the perspectives of an ensemble of sinister and desperate characters - an assassin returning from his retirement as a medical college instructor; a young outlaw who fancies himself a lord; a master breeder and smuggler of narcotic beetles; a jaded mercenary captain; and more - it is the story of an expedition to a destroyed city to retrieve a relic on behalf of a mad emperor.

Readers of Joe Abercrombie, N. K. Jemisin, George R. R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and others who portray morally ambiguous or rotten characters dealing with an alien, corrupt, and often terrifying world will likely enjoy this chilling and wickedly funny debut from J. F. Meskimen.

Strange and interesting world

This story is really good. I was shocked to realize it was written recently because it feels like it is from another time. The world building is insane. I'd be interested in reading more stories that took place in this world, but this book is a stand-alone story and the ending is satisfying.
