Tavern Stories

A baby? On a battlefield? Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her.

Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.

In the depths of France, where flowers decay but never die, two fledgeling Vampires are brought before the Court of the Unwilting. Lafayette had the life he'd always wished for.

Now drawn into a series of political games and violent choices, one question reigns supreme above any other - who can you trust, when death itself becomes a game? When children beg and bleed, when doctors drink the blood of their own patients, and when Countesses scheme, all that's clear in this hazy dream is this: you either drink, or you drown...
