Greedy and vain

choking fog had concealed much

Thomas Edgar

Kydd will face his greatest challenge ever amidst bloodstained seas

and at six o'clock every day

troubled hero whom readers will be sure to follow from one disturbing

and read the second story in the opposite direction

and her bones glowing white in green twilight
