Pale Mist and Black Powder By Gonzalé de Gaspar In the mist-shrouded land of Osturias, honor is a blade—and dreams can kill. Captain Gonzago de Rabat, a battle-hardened mercenary, is hired by a shadowy banker to retrieve a mysterious map hidden within the haunted ruins of Ráshagna. What begins as a quest for gold soon unravels into a deadly confrontation with cursed relics, ancient spirits, and political intrigue. As soldiers and scholars chase forgotten power, the mist itself awakens—bringing with it horrors not born of this world. Across crumbling cities and dream-touched landscapes, Gonzago must navigate betrayal, spectral foes, and his own haunted past. Alongside the enigmatic Don Anton d'Garza and the ruthless Arguento brothers, he faces an enemy more dangerous than any sword: the dream-warping Mist. Darkly poetic and richly imagined , Pale Mist and Black Powder is a grimdark fantasy saga filled with unforgettable characters, brutal duels, and the creeping dread of forgotten evils. Perfect for fans of Glen Cook, Andrzej Sapkowski, or Mark Lawrence.
