Gallows at Mistheim Bridge plunges readers into a cold, suspenseful corner of a grim fantasy world. Elspeth wakes in a village jail with only hours left until execution, haunted by loss and the rune-mark on her shoulder. When a strange, one-eyed nobleman is thrown into the next cell, uneasy conversation becomes a tense, unpredictable game of wills. Taut and atmospheric, this opening balances fear, dry wit, and simmering menace as alliances and old debts ripple through a small prison’s walls. Fans of character-driven dark fantasy will appreciate the clipped prose, the sense of imminent danger, and a heroine whose survival depends on cunning as much as courage. This book begins a journey of secrets, power, and the costs of fighting what the world calls witchcraft—without spoiling the twists to come.
