Bien de esta saga casi no tengo información, les puedo decir que es el debut literario del autor, en ingles la saga se llama igual que el primer libro "Low town" así que supongo que en español (en el caso se publiquen los demás libros) la saga se llamará igual aunque en algunos lados lo llaman Rigus. La serie lleva 3 libros publicados -desconozco si habrá más-. En español solo se ha publicado hasta el momento el primer libro, desconozco si se publicarán los demás. Sobre la trama les cuento por lo que he leído por ahí que es medio auto-conclusiva y que mezcla novela negra con fantasía, si alguien lo leyó agradezco comparta su opinión.

Sinopsis:
Me llaman el Guardián. Hubo un tiempo en que estaba del lado de la ley. Ahora... digamos que estoy al margen.
Dime cuál es tu veneno preferido y te lo conseguiré. ¿Aliento de hada? ¿Vid del sueño? El Guardián los tiene todos.
Estás en los bajos fondos de Rigus, la ciudad más próspera de las Trece Tierras, donde las ratas salen mientras la gente honrada duerme, y la guardia hace la vista gorda.
Admito los trapicheos, los rateros, los adictos y los matones callejeros. Pero ahora han asesinado a una niña y a nadie parece importarle. Así que tendré que tomar cartas en el asunto. Es en momentos como éste cuando necesitas conocer a las personas adecuadas. Y todos le deben algo al Guardián.
No soy ningún héroe. Así están las cosas. Bienvenido a los bajos fondos.

Once he was a hero of the Great War, and then a member of the dreaded Black House. Now he is the criminal linchpin of Low Town. His name is Warden. He thought he had left the war behind him, but a summons from up above brings the past sharply, uncomfortably, back into focus.
General Montgomery's daughter is missing somewhere in Low Town, searching for clues about her brother's murder. The General wants her found, before the stinking streets can lay claim to her, too.
Dark, violent, and shot through with corruption, UNTITLED is a fantastic successor to one of the most heralded fantasy debuts of recent times.

Low Town: the worst ghetto in the worst city in the Thirteen Lands.
Good only for depravity and death. And Warden, long ago a respected agent in the formidable Black House, is now the most depraved Low Town denizen of them all.
As a younger man, Warden carried out more than his fair share of terrible deeds, and never as many as when he worked for the Black House. But Warden's growing older, and the vultures are circling. Low Town is changing, faster than even he can control, and Warden knows that if he doesn't get out soon, he may never get out at all.
But Warden must finally reckon with his terrible past if he can ever hope to escape it. A hospital full of lunatics, a conspiracy against the corrupt new king and a ghetto full of thieves and murderers stand between him and his slim hope for the future. And behind them all waits the one person whose betrayal Warden never expected. The one person who left him, broken and bitter, to become the man he is today.
The one woman he ever loved.
She who waits behind all things
