Blood & Fog | A Blades in the Dark Story | Chapter 4: Dead Man’s Switch

The Harriers regroup and come up with a plan to find a murderer...

As dusk turns and fades to twilight and the fog swirls through the streets, the gangs of Duskvol head out once more to fight each other over scraps of power.

Little do they know that a new threat is appearing on the horizon...

Join our crew of daring scoundrels Emily Bates, Shamini Bundell, Lou Fryer and Holly Musgrave, along with Fate Weaver Fiona Howat, as they seek their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city.

There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had — if they are bold enough to seize them.

Our fledgling crew must thrive amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the Bluecoats of the city watch, and the siren song of their own vices. Will they rise to power in the criminal underworld?
