The Dust of Rhll J F Meskimen

A dark sword-and-sorcery adventure for adults featuring cover artwork by the legendary Erol Otus, The Dust of Rhll is J. F. Meskimen's first novel.




Told from the perspectives of an ensemble of sinister and desperate characters -- an assassin returning from his retirement as a medical college instructor; a young outlaw who fancies himself a lord; a master breeder and smuggler of narcotic beetles; a jaded mercenary captain; and more -- it is the story of an expedition to a destroyed city to retrieve a relic on behalf of a mad emperor.




Readers of Joe Abercrombie, N. K. Jemisin, George R. R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and others who portray morally ambiguous or rotten characters dealing with an alien, corrupt, and often terrifying world will likely enjoy this chilling and wickedly funny debut from J. F. Meskimen.
