WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

“A wonderful quick fantasy read. This is a lush medieval flavor fantasy short story. The description is not overpowering, but it is intense and accessible. The confusion scene in the castle is well handled, as is the introduction to the villaness' madness. The exposition of that part of the story, what happened to create it, is also well handled and well timed. Provided that you don't get interrupted too often then this will be a quick read. If you're having to put it down every few pages to get up and take care of kids and answer the door it will still be enjoyable and easy to follow. However, it is not a "simple" tale. I would recommend savoring the reading, and may at some point read it for one of my library groups. I am well pleased with the action and fight scenes. They have detail, yet are not overly graphic and not drawn out too long. The resolution seems a little quick to me, but not all stories need to be long and drawn out in this area. Sometimes it is nice to read something that is a struggle, but not a "horrendously difficult millimeter at a time inching" toward resolution. On the other hand, it is quite plain that the group in this story will have other adventures in their storyline, whether we get to follow or not. I hope we do get to follow in other short stories.”

A plague has covered the land, a single word on the lips of the frightened masses: the Widow. Washing a wave of terror over the countryside and then disappearing like a thief in the night, the Widow holds a kingdom in the palm of her hand. The eyes of Chaos have settled on Prima Terra and heroes must rise. Xeno Lobo, enigmatic and cryptic, hunts the Widow, seeking an object taken from him years before. Will he be able to stem the tide of violence and horror that sweeps the land?
