Sinossi

In the year of the forked serpent, Kurval came from beyond the sea, slew King Orkol and became King of Azakoria.

On the day of his coronation, Kurval consults the oracle in the temple of the goddess Ashvarya, where he is supposed to gaze into a magical jewel called the Tear of Chronos, hoping for a vision of the future.

But before Kurval can receive his vision, a young woman named Stella suddenly appears in a flash of light in the inner sanctum. Not only is Stella a deadringer for the goddess, she also wears the Tear of Chronos around her neck.

Can Stella help Kurval retain the throne he's barely won? And is she truly a goddess or just an imposter?

The new sword and sorcery adventure by two-time Hugo finalist Cora Buhlert and her occasional alter ego, 1930s pulp writer Richard Blakemore. This is a novelette of 13500 words or approx. 45 print pages in the Kurval sword and sorcery series, but may be read as a standalone. Includes an introduction and afterword.
Disponibile da: 15/03/2022.

For over 5 years he roamed, looting and killing as necessary. Why could the combined forces and brains of all the nations on earth not deal with him or it? Well, Earth was faced with a strange problem indeed. They had to have a superman. And there weren't any available. So perhaps one had to be made....

    "In the silent depths of Diablo Lake, where shadows dance upon the water's edge, secrets linger like whispers in the night. Five years have passed since the world was torn asunder, yet the scars of our past haunt us still, etched into the very fabric of our souls. 
      
    I watch from the shadows as life unfolds around me, a silent guardian amidst the chaos. Clarisse tends to the wounded with a quiet determination, her eyes betraying the weight of our shared burden. Bang and Addy, their love a beacon of hope in the darkness, prepare for the arrival of their first child, unaware of the storm that looms on the horizon. And Tehya, consumed by a rage she cannot tame, teeters on the brink of oblivion. 
      
    But it's the arrival of Meg that sets my senses ablaze, her presence a harbinger of danger in our fragile sanctuary. With eyes that hold secrets untold and a past shrouded in mystery, she brings with her a darkness that threatens to engulf us all. 
      
    As the days pass, the specter of the terrorists looms ever larger, their presence a malevolent force that refuses to be ignored. And when Meg's true intentions are revealed, we're thrust into a deadly game of deception and betrayal, where trust is a luxury we cannot afford. 
      
    Yet amidst the shadows, there is still light. Light in the bonds that bind us together, in the flicker of hope that refuses to be extinguished. As explosions echo in the distance and lives hang in the balance, I know that we must stand united against the encroaching darkness. 
      
    In "The Tender Harvest," the next chapter of our journey unfolds, and I stand ready to confront whatever lies ahead. For in this world of uncertainty and shadows, one thing remains certain: the strength of the human spirit, and the resilience of the heart, will see us through." - Graham Morgan

    So that happened… 
    And there we all thought that the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse would be the worst event of the year. 
    That was before we factored in that we must have gotten lost in the garbage-people timeline where only the strong survive—and usually not those portraying strength of character. 
    But that isn’t even my main issue right now. With fall in full swing and winter fast approaching, food and other resources are not just limited but actually getting really hard to come by. 
    Food… 
    Don’t even get me started on that. 
    Now that it boils down to survival of the assholes, decisions have to be made and sacrifices are in order. And as much as I would like to keep my firm stance on the moral high ground, I’m really not that fond of the consequences. If only there was an alternate solution for my problems… but as I’ve recently found out, that comes with its own massive downsides. 
    If only that wasn’t so damn tempting, now that I’m hungry all the time… 
    So damn hungry…

    A forgotten warrior falls from the stars. A shattered city lies buried beneath the sand. And a cosmic enemy rises to finish what the shadows began. 
    The Dawn Fire awakens in a world it no longer remembers—its body cracked with molten light, its purpose lost in the desert wind. But ancient power stirs beneath the ruins of Solmira, and the embers of a celestial war begin to reignite. 
    As golden memories return in flashes, the Dawn Fire faces beasts born from flame, haunted guardians of a fallen kingdom, and a darkness that once bore its name—Vaelkor, the fallen light. 
    But this isn’t just a battle for relics or revenge. 
    It’s a war for identity. 
    A reckoning between what was forgotten… and what must be reclaimed. 
    Can the last ember of light rise before the shadows consume everything?
