Whispering in the Wire
Bloodline is a funny thing when you find it bleeding in the dark mud of an iron pit.I stood frozen in the cold shadow of the basalt cliff, staring at the old man's open palm. The jagged mark branded into his skin matched mine down to the smallest millimeter, the scar white and raised against his calloused gray flesh."Grandfather," I whispered, the word feeling strange and heavy on my tongue. "My father told me you died in the northern mountain raids thirty years ago.""Your father believed what he needed to believe to keep you safe in that wooden cabin, Soren," the old man rasped, his eyes bright and piercing behind a messy curtain of white hair. "I was not killed. I was sold to the Borean naval council before you were even born.""He was the craftsman," Valerie breathed, stepping up beside me in the dim blue light of the di
The Cliffside Quarry
When a prison guard strips a blacksmith of his steel, the fool always forgets the man still owns the bones in his arms."Keep your eyes on the dirt," a heavy guard shouted, cracking a thick leather whip against the wet basalt wall behind my shoulders. "The dampening field covers this entire pit. You have no magic here. Pick up the iron."I stood in the cold mud of the Oriens mining camp, wearing only thin gray rags. The heavy silver dampening collar locked around my throat hummed with a dull, sickening vibration, designed to block all internal bloodline energy."They took the black blade, Soren," Valerie whispered, her han
The Descent to Oriens
Falling through three hundred feet of burning clouds will quickly teach you the true value of a steering lever.The floating fortress was tearing itself apart in mid-air, raining heavy iron girders and hot marble blocks down into the dark ocean below. The air was thick with gray smoke and screaming wind as Valerie and I sprinted along the tilting metal catwalk of the citadel’s private lower hangar bay."Soren, over there!" Valerie yelled, pointing her brass wrench toward a narrow, sleek vessel resting on a low launching rail near the bay doors. "That is an Occidens sky skiff! It uses twin compressed ether th
The Weight of the Shattered World
When a man tells you your bloodline broke the world, you do not ask for forgiveness, you double your grip on your freedom.Grand Master Vane stood at the edge of the high marble platform, his eyes burning with an old, ugly malice as he pointed a trembling finger down at my chest."Six continents, Soren," Vane said, his raspy voice carrying straight to the high glass dome above us. "Six shattered pieces floating on a bed of pressurized thermal gas. The only thing keeping the eastern ocean from swallowing the western desert is the weak spatial distance your ancestors locked into the earth core.""My parents are smiths," I said, my voice low and hard as I shifted my weight on the cold stone floor. "They forge steel. They do not hold the earth together.""They do now," Vane sneered, taking a
Scales of the empire
A silver chain around your wrists feels just as heavy as an iron one when you are suspended three hundred feet above a dark ocean.The iron floor of the grand hall was polished so bright I could see my own reflection in the seamless gray stone. Above us, sixty tall stone pillars stretched up toward an open glass dome, where the crimson sky of Occidens cast a bloody light over the long, curved marble bench at the front of the room."State your names and your business in neutral waters," a tall man sitting in the center of the bench commanded, his voice echoing off the high stone pillars like a heavy brass drum.He wore a long, silver threaded robe with a broad obsidian collar, and his hands rested flat on a thick book bound in brass plates. Seven lower ranking magi sat on either side of him, dressed in plain blue robes, their faces pale and unreadable under thei
Blood in the waves
When four monstrosities with razor bone claws back you onto a rotting wooden deck, you do not have time to doubt your stance.The nearest eel like beast hissed, its wide jaw opening to reveal three rows of needle teeth dripping with yellow saliva. It lunged across the wet timber, its four jointed arm shooting straight for my throat."Soren, watch the deck planks," Valerie shouted, pulling the baby tight against her shoulder as she backed up against the cabin door. "The wood is too dry and rotten to take a direct sword strike!""I am not hitting the boat," I said, stepping forward instead of back.I dropped my weight into a deep, low base, locking my hips into a solid center frame. I did not swing my black sword at the beast's head. Instead, I drove the point of the blade straight down in
