    About this ebook

    Keshul makes his money cloaking his common sense as fortune-telling for the Jokka of het Narel, and he would be the first to tell you it's all a sham. Or so he thinks, until a patron shows up asking for the wisdom of the Void...

      The Invitation

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n

      I thoroughly enjoyed this. I enjoyed seeing Keshul's reaction to his readings. I enjoyed the potential implications of it all and his struggle to deal with it. I enjoyed the brief scenes of when he got home and the variety of emotions he went through. It's a very quiet story. It's more of a slice-of-life piece that intersects briefly with plot. It's awesome. I love pieces like that. The way they hint at something greater and never follow it because it's not the focal piece.And yet... despite the tragedy shifting about the darkest shadows of this piece, and despite Keshul's own beliefs that he's a charlatan... There is warmth and cosiness in this. It's not a long story (a little under 6,000 words), but it's the kind of story that makes me love short fiction. It packs a grand punch in terms of exploring how the patron affects him and what that means for his belief. Since it's only a short story it doesn't really affect him, but you can see the tendrils. I'm looking forward to 'Pearl in the Void' which will see much more of Keshul. *squee*
