THE VOICES OF THE DEAD - Dark Tales & Lost Souls An Anthology of the Endlands These six tales of fantasy are woven from the shadow and mortality of the Endlands - an epic-fantasy realm in which nothing is ever what it seems, and where only the purest hearts survive the touch of all-consuming darkness. A Sister of Sorrow dedicates her life to destroying those who employ pain without paying the price that pain demands - until she is nearly destroyed by a horror that not even her torment-hardened spirit can endure... Across the blackened battlefields of the Great War That Was, a grim air-captain leads a mission to recover an arcane power that shouldn't exist - and which summons the ghosts of war to destroy all those who covet its secrets... In the desolate refugee settlement known as the Fastness, two young lovers struggle to survive in the darkness of a world gone mad - but when the voice of that darkness calls them, neither will emerge unscathed... A prince and princess share a bond of blood and a dark secret, both of which threaten to destroy them when their forbidden passion costs their emperor father his life... In an ancient necropolis, a young woman seeks an escape from endless summer and the sorrow of the lovers she has lost. But even as she struggles to break free of the bonds of her dreams, she discovers the deeper nightmare that lurks within... In the aftermath of the death of a village matriarch, a priest's son finds himself facing a black power beyond the reckoning of his faith - and a creature that only he can destroy...
