Alwyn is a man living his life on a rope. This is as much as Alwyn’s story as it is of the companions that often surround him. Alwyn goes through a personal journey of redemption yet commits acts that no one would approve of. Whether it be serving the famous Outlaw King only to find himself running away as the King’s forces destroy the rebels, whether it be working in the Pit under a very deluded Lord that thinks high and mighty of himself. In one sense, Alwyn’s world is constantly changing. Alwyn never apologised for any of the actions he did in this novel, but he is not ashamed to admit it. This novel had fantastic action sequences, heart-wrenching moments of characters and a confident stand on where it stood. To witness events that are beyond him in a grim-dark fantasy world where the concept of chivalry can be safely discarded for greed and corruption.
The Pariah illustrates the tale of Alwyn Scribe, a thief who’s life is set on fire to journey to the corridors of dark power and corruption.
