Book description
π§ Blood On Borrowed Wings by Darren Stapleton is the dark fantasy thriller you didn't know you needed in your life.
Think gritty urban fantasy meets high-octane action, with a side of existential dread. Drake Theron isn't your typical hero - he's a winged warrior turned mercenary carrying more baggage than a budget airline. When women start vanishing from the Angelbrawl Arena, what should be routine security work spirals into something... darker.
The world-building? Immaculate. Nimbus feels lived-in, breathing, dangerous. The sky-bound hierarchy isn't just cool window dressing - it's central to everything. Those with wings rule from above while everyone else scrapes by in the shadows below. Classic fantasy trope? Not even close. Stapleton makes it feel fresh and brutal.
Drake gets grabbed alongside his mark (predictable much?), then discovers the conspiracy runs deeper than a politician's pockets. Betrayals hit hard because you actually care about these characters. They've got weight, history, souls - thanks to Stapleton channeling real grief into his writing.
Fast chapters, crackling dialogue, and enough twists to make your head spin. Plus, for all its darkness, there's genuine humor that doesn't undercut the stakes. This isn't grimdark for grimdark's sake - it knows when to punch you in the gut and when to offer a hand up.
Perfect for fans of The Fifth Season or Altered Carbon who want their fantasy grounded in emotional truth.
