The Mercenary and the Novelist

The Mercenary and the Novelist

Finished

傭兵と小説家

In 1873, the smoke of steam locomotives blankets the cities, and the age of mercenaries has passed. Sword, a down-on-his-luck mercenary, accepts a job from Verderon, a bestselling novelist. She hires him to escort her to an interview in a dangerous, uncharted mountain region.

The two constantly bicker, but their journey soon entangles them in a conspiracy involving the church and the state. As they venture deeper into the unknown, they must navigate a world caught between the dawn of the transcontinental railroad and the twilight before electric lights.
