Chains of Dominion (2024)

Publisher's blurb: The grim, perpetual twilight that blankets the north of what was once England hides more than the ravages of time—it shelters a rising power. In the ruins of a once-quiet village, a militia has formed, hardened by the bitter winds of desolation. They call themselves The Blooded Iron, and their ascent is swift, merciless. What began as a defense force to protect the few remaining souls of Blackreach has transformed into a tyrannical army with one objective: absolute dominion. Their methods are as cold as the frost that clings to the broken earth—intimidation, assassination, and the iron grip of fear. Each town they conquer falls into silence, their will enforced with brutal efficiency.
