Adventure Takes a Holiday: A Legends of Lasniniar Short

Jacquelyn Smith

Summary

(Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: Adventure Takes a Holiday” by Jacquelyn Smith.)

Barlo lumbers through the snow along a narrow mountain path. A substantial trail follows in the dwarf’s wake.

Iarion leads the way. His light, elven feet barely make an impression in the snow. Barlo would like to blame his pulled groin for his own awkwardness, but he knows Iarion would never let him get away with it.

As night falls, a storm closes in.

...Definitely not the holiday Barlo hoped for.

A stand-alone misadventure story of the unlikely friends Iarion and Barlo from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. (This adventure takes place between the World of Lasniniar novels Kinslayer and Soul Seeker.)

Stolen Sun

Eli Hinze

It is a lightless world. The sun goddess, Atthar, has long-since been deposed, her light stripped from her by a tyrant and held aloft above his dying city. Eking out a meager existence there is Nasir and his ailing mother, Atthar’s former high priestess, who hold secret ceremonies and face routine beatings from the city guards. Nasir prays when his mother asks, but his faith is dead. 
Until the goddess calls out to him from the dark, very much alive—and ready to strike. 
A tale of a mother’s love and a son’s devotion, of a goddess’ wrath and mankind’s arrogance, Stolen Sun is a Mesopotamian fantasy novella just over 2 hours long.

Except for a rare breed of warriors seeking to eradicate the scourge that plagues Earth. 
They call themselves Mortal Makers. And Declan is the best. A former member of SEAL Team Six, Declan uses his skills to track down and eliminate as many vampires as he can. On a quest to find the Source, the "vampire zero" that started the Event in the first place, Declan uses an unorthodox method to attract suckers right to him before he kills them. 
But as he travels further west on his mission, he finds that not all of the evil left in the world exists only at night. 
Sometimes the living are worse than the undead.

Visions

Coulson Kernahan

Deeper questions of life and death, and of God’s relationship to man, are explored in this collection of “dreams” by a noted English novelist and literary critic. A man takes an uncertain step into the next world as his life ends – Defendants at the Last Judgment hurl their own accusations at the Judge – An angel arrives on Christmas Eve to guide one soul through a night of despair and doubt – Flowers in a garden contemplate their own mortality – What would it mean if the world renounced Christ, or God took Christ away from the world? – And in a world of the future, pleasure and luxury are pursued … and children are nowhere to be found.

Darknesses

Jr. L. E. Modesitt

Corus is a world of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a world of magical powers and of a few people who are Talented enough to use them. Alucius, the hero of the story, is one such person. In Legacies we saw how he grew from a Talented child on a lonely Nightsheep ranch in the Iron Valleys to a proficient soldier who used his wits and his Talent to become the first to escape military enslavement in the neighboring country of Madrien. Now captain of the Twenty-first Company, the youngest officer of his rank in the Militia, he must now face new challenges, both military and magical. 
Corus has been fragmented since the collapse of its ancient magic-powered civilization. A would-be conqueror has somehow revived sorcerous creatures of legend to assist in his crusade to reunite the continent under his rule. The Iron Valleys are forced into an alliance with the Lord-Protector of Lanachrona, and the Twenty-first is dispatched to stand against the invaders. Neither the officers above him nor the men under him know it, but Alucius's Talent is their only hope for victory, or even survival.
