Like a phoenix, they arose. From the ashes of a world burnt by massive nuclear holocaust and frozen by a millennia of nuclear winter. They are the Fisted Races and they struggle against the tattered remnant of Humanity for what little resources are left on a battered Earth.

But now an even greater power in the south was rising that threatened Fisted and Humans alike. Could they somehow put the bloodshed and horror of their history behind them and stand together against it? Because if they didn't, not only would Humanity and the Fisted die, but so would every living thing on the planet!

Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S.
