The Distant TempleThe feast was a riot of gold leaf and burnt sugar, a sensory assault that coated the tongue in sweetness so thick it felt like swallowing molten wax. I sat at the high table of the Hall of Whispers, the air heavy with the scent of roasting lamb and the metallic tang of old iron. My brother, Julian, sat across from me, his face illuminated by the flickering torches, his eyes bright with a...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe rain had not stopped for three days, a persistent, gray curtain that blurred the boundaries between the moor and the sky, and it was in this damp, indifferent gloom that Elias Thorne arrived at the estate of Blackwood Hall. He was not a young man, nor was he old, but he carried the weight of a life spent in the quiet accumulation of truths that few wished to hear, a burden that settled into...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant BladeThe iron gate screamed. It tore through the fog like a beast in pain. Silas stood. He held the hammer. The handle was slick with sweat. The air tasted of coal and blood. The court was vast. It was a cathedral of smoke. The ceiling was lost in the dark. The walls were stone. They were old. They were cold. The light came from gas lamps. They hissed. They flickered. They were weak. They could not...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe feast hall was thick with the scent of roasted goose and beeswax, a cloying sweetness that clung to the back of Aldric’s throat like a second skin, and he sat at the foot of the high table where the shadows pooled deepest, his armor still warm against his chest, humming with the residual vibration of a violence that had not yet fully settled into his bones, while above him the great hearth...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant Whispers"You're late, Miller." The voice cut through the rain like a wire. It was Captain Halloway. He stood at the edge of the clearing, his posture rigid, his face a mask of bureaucratic disapproval. Behind him, the trees of the Appalachian foothills loomed, dark and wet. Miller adjusted the pack on his shoulder. The strap dug into his collarbone. A sharp, bright pain. He welcomed it. It kept him...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrontierThe rain did not fall so much as it suspended itself in the air of the St. Jude’s Medical Center for the Chronically Displaced, a fine, gray mist that settled on the linoleum floors like a second skin. Elias Thorne stood at the edge of the corridor, his fingers digging into the rough wool of his coat, watching the water bead on the glass of the observation room. He was twelve years old, small...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe ink is still wet. You can see it glisten on the parchment, a dark vein against the pale skin of the page. It is not your hand. It is the hand of the city. Or perhaps it is the hand of the thing that lives in the walls. You do not know anymore. You stopped asking three days ago. You sit in the corner of the watchtower. The air is thick with the smell of damp stone and old blood. Below, the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MasterYou wake with the taste of iron in your mouth. It is a bad taste. It is the taste of a coin held too long between the teeth. You are lying on the cold floor of the war room. The carpet is thick, blue, and smells of old dust and expensive perfume. Above you, the ceiling is high. The air is still. You sit up. Your head hurts. The room is full of men. They wear suits. They are quiet. They look at...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a grey curtain that blurred the boundary between the parking lot and the asphalt road leading out of the St. Jude’s Rehabilitation Center. Margaret Holloway sat in the passenger seat of a rusted sedan, her hands folded in her lap, watching the wiper blade sweep back and forth in a rhythmic, mechanical trance. The driver, a man named Silas whose name she...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
