The Rike Sjöstad Trilogy

by Inez Rodk

 

A merchant's daughter bent on revenge.

A disgraced officer seeking redemption.

A blood mage fighting for freedom.

​

Welcome to Rike Sjöstad, a port city where glittering wealth masks a brutal underworld of corruption, violence, and forbidden magic.

 

When Annika Lindbäck's mother is murdered for smuggling a magical weapon into the city, three factions close in: a ruthless gang, a corrupt police force, and a hidden sect of outlawed mages, each convinced that whoever controls the weapon controls Rike Sjöstad.

 

At the centre of the conflict are three people whose fates become impossible to separate.

 

Annika wants vengeance, but the hunt for her mother's killer unravels everything she believed. Her mother knew the weapon was dangerous, but she smuggled it anyway. Some secrets are buried for a reason.

​

Neha Kadir has built her life around upholding the law until the struggle for the weapon reveals that the institution she serves is more rotten than the criminals she pursues. Justice or her career: she can't have them both.

​

Zhong Kai has spent a decade as the Skärgård gang's blood mage, telling himself survival was enough—until the weapon threatens to make them unstoppable. Destroying their empire is his only chance for freedom, but they will burn him and everyone he loves before accepting defeat.

​

The Rike Sjöstad Trilogy is a dark fantasy of revenge, redemption, and retribution set in a city where trust is a luxury no one can afford.
