Sunset Mantle

By Alter S. Reiss
Sunset Mantle by Alter S. Reiss digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

With a single blow, Cete won both honor and exile from his last commander. Since then he has wandered, looking for a place to call home. The distant holdings of the Reach Antach offer shelter, but that promise has a price.

The Reach Antach is doomed.

Barbarians, traitors, and scheming investors conspire to destroy the burgeoning settlement. A wise man would move on, but Cete has found reason to stay. A blind weaver-woman and the beautiful sunset mantle lure the warrior to wager everything he has left on one final chance to turn back the hungry tides of war.

PRAISE FOR SUNSET MANTLE

"A beautifully structured story, with solid and original characters who could have come from no other time and place than this fascinating imagined history." —Jo Walton

“I liked this novella. It took very little time to get vested in the story and the characters. The dialogue had a different cadence, but I didn’t find it disagreeable to the story. Overall, this was enjoyable from beginning to end. Only major quip is that it was short, but that is not a knock in the story. It did feel like a complete story as is.”
“Exceptional. Read it and see.”
