โฆ Synopsis
The Fantasy Short Stories collection from Quincy J. Allen includes five fantastic tales set in fantasy realms. With hints of epic fantasy, noir, Celtic legends, portal fantasy, and a little steampunk mixed in, these tales are sure to tickle the fancy of every fantasy reader.
The stories included are:
"A Turn of the Ring"
A young rogue finds herself at the end of her rope and on an orc hit list. When a warrior maiden is attacked by the same orcs, she must choose between helping the woman and risking discovery or doing nothing and saving her own neck. Her choice will change the course of her entire life.
"The Godfairy"
A New Jersey detective lost in Fairyland is dragged into a crime scene straight out of The Godfather. He must use his wiles and a bit of ancient lore to not only solve this mystery but make a dwarven lass happy.
"Fomorian Legacy"
In a twisted, post-apocalyptic mashup, a young apprentice must save his people and discovers he has become part of an ancient legend six thousand years in the making.
"Such is the Jungle"
Dragons are real, or at least were. In this not-so-fantasy, a young warrior must slay the dragon that nearly wiped out his people. Along the way, he discovers that death is a natural part of life. Such is the jungle
"Cornelius"
In a bizarre take on an old fairytale, a dwarf on the run tells six new friends of how he destroyed a perfect life and ended up in the gutter. You may recognize the characters in this one, but I assure you, that is pure coincidence.
