Children of the God of War, the Seren of the Mountain believe in two things: might is power, and magic is sin. Yet in their hubris, the Clan has forgotten their most important role - to protect the most powerful weapons in all the realms from being unleashed upon the Mortal Realms once more. * * * Born with the Goddess's Blessing on her skin, the elders thought Eliah would be the second coming of Taiten, the greatest warrior the Clan has ever seen. What they got was a walking blasphemy. Eliah Taitenschild is short, skinny, and useless in a fight - and she's a magic-wielding heretic to boot. All she wants to do is pass her shieldmaiden training without having her magic exposed. Or better yet, complete the Rite and kill a demonic, shape-shifting Fal'mor to prove herself worthy of wielding one of the weapons that the legendary Taiten left behind. But a silent war between magic and might has been brewing on the mountain for decades. When new life is bled into the near-extinct army of Fal'mor in the name of proving strength, the Clan soon discovers that the weapons they were meant to guard were never the kind that could be wielded. Fortunately, for every weapon, there's a countermeasure. The magic that the Clan so detests may turn out to be the most powerful sword and shield of all. ============== 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: This story was formerly published as 'Crossroads' (Apr 2014).

Jack Rhodes should have been ordinary. But twenty-five years ago something happened which left him with anger which he struggles to contain whenever he comes across injustice. Intellectually, this is channeled into his consultancy work as a forensic auditor for global corporates. Physically with rigorous and ongoing fighting training. Emotionally with layers of cynicism and skepticism. Not an everyman package. It allows him to cope with what is a form of PTSD. Jack is now 30. His consultancy work takes him all over the world and is well paid. Recently back in his home town of San Francisco, what seems like a one-night stand with Debbie, leads him into the world of marginally crooked real estate dealings, strip clubs, money laundering, and a clever Ponzi scheme which is on the verge of going global. Through fear, Debbie fled. In resolving all this he falls into an unexpected relationship with Stella, a wealthy older widow whose husband was an unknowing victim of the Ponzi scheme. Together they solve part of the puzzle but without Debbie, they don't have all the pieces. In the background of all this is his intellectual cousin Freddie, whose parents raised Jack. Freddie is a lawyer who runs a specialized unit within SFPD. Sargent Freddie Braithwaite is in the same unit and an instructor in different fighting techniques at SFPD. Together they are a moral compass for Jack. This journey is not smooth and is risky. People get killed. It is a story of people who are fractured to some degree, like all of us. It does not end as Jack had planned. No matter what we do it changes us a little and makes s wonder about the future.
