Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, GooglePlay r/Fantasy Stabby Award Winner – Best Anthology 2019 Nineteen fantasy writers gather to bring nineteen tales to life, each one a unique glimpse into a wholly original world. In “The Death of Osiris,” Kabir (Truename Zadkiel) pursues Baphomet for his involvement in the death of the Pharaoh of Anient Egypt – and find an unlikely hero in the form of a young human girl named Hatshepsut. Zadkiel, The Guardian, named among the angels, who had alone stood sentry at the gates of Eden with his swords of flame, who fought in the Great Wars to protect humankind, and was once known as Hem-hor, First Shield of Horus, still thinks of Hatshepsut often, and hopes to one day live up to that little girl’s one simple and selfless act. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56070694e4b0a63e2239b7ba/c819e8e5-dff9-45fc-bada-1075adff4859/art-of-war.png Paternus Books | Dyrk Ashton - Art of War All proceeds benefit Doctors Without Borders This charitable anthology features 40 stories from some of the biggest names in fantasy today (and me!).

Trained since my earliest memory. All of us had been. Death was our reason for living. Bestowing it upon others and claiming it for ourselves in combat. We were the Aesir of Asgard. The elite force to which I belonged, the Valkyries--Freyja’s warriors. We were strong. We were proud. We were cruel. And we were coming...

It was 2348 B.C., by modern reckoning, middle of the afternoon but dark as night, the sky a low ceiling of black clouds and lightning, the ocean a jagged, heaving floor beneath. Water was thick in the air, fog and icy rain whipped by the gale. The storms had been more frequent and growing fiercer of late. Whatever was coming, was coming soon...
