“K.J. Parker writes the best short stories for me. a story of a sculptor who's conflicted between believing the king's propaganda and listening to the truth of what his nephew tells him about what actually happens on the front lines, while trying to focus on his work as he gets entangled in sculpting victory scenes for the kings”

“"Set in Stone" is a 30-page short story about a renowned sculptor who grapples with his conscience when the King personally commissions him to create an imaginative battle scene as a propaganda piece. The request has significant implications for the sculptor's personal life, especially after he gained a promotion for his only living relative, a soldier nephew, as part of his reward. True to Parker's style, the story is well-written and expertly plotted, with a thought-provoking ending. Brilliant!”
