Thirty-Three Tales of War

di Emory Glass (Autore)

Emory Glass, 2024

The Canterbury Tales meets Dark Fantasy in this epistolary flash fiction collection. Seventeen years. That's all it took, seventeen measly years, for the glory of a thousand-year-old nation to fade. A thief weighs betraying an old friend in her time of need. An armourer survives her campaign only to be stabbed in the back by those she loves the most. A priestess blesses the dead in the aftermath of a battle. A warrior mourns fallen comrades: brother in arms, brother in blood, brother in spirit. A dyer wishes for a grinding war, knowing peace will be his ruin. Countless others cling to survival as warring queens make them fodder for oblivion over and over and over again. Can there be inner peace in a world wracked with turmoil? How can one muster ambition when every gruelling day is a hair's breadth from being the end? Will they succumb to despondency and dread as their homeland marches solemnly closer to a fate from which there is no salvation? These are the lives of ordinary citizens whose only hope lay in memories. By telling their stories, they will be remembered even when the Void lays final claim to their shattered souls. THIRTY-THREE TALES OF WAR is a collection of flash fiction set in the dark fantasy world of The Chroma Books by Emory Glass. Originally serialized in the digital-only publication Worldbuilding Magazine, return to Kandrisev at its darkest hour with expanded and freshly edited stories, three all-new, full-page illustrations plus two maps drawn by the author, and additional lore presented by a previously unrevealed framing character.
