The Deep Paths are a cursed place, a special hell meant for those wicked souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death.... more>>

Ghouls, revenants, and forgotten things haunt this underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface.

Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is a lot more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below. <<less

It is best read after having read up to at least the end of chapter 23 of the main story, though chapter 30 is more preferable. Yet, this short may also stand alone on its own merits if you wish it to.

I had to add the colon and such because it turns out there is already a book called In The Moment.... more>>

This is a seprequel (I do not think there's a term for this, thanks to flashing back and forth, it is both a sequel and a prequel) of Town of Winter and Oracle of Tao. To a less extent, it also relates to Tales from the Reaper. The story begins with the creation of the universe, and ends with... well the end of it all. Basically, it was the finale of the main series, so I wanted to wrap things up cleanly. It's sorta got the feel of someone going senile, which is kinda the point. Ambrosia has finished her quest, and thanks to memories from three different lifetimes, she has some seriously disjointed sense of past and present.

Just a warning, it is kinda religious, and very very experimental. <<less

The only chance for them of ever being able to face Zeus and the armies that follow him, is to be given power using the technology that Zeus created. The device nicknamed the “Godmaker”, can give these nine species god-like powers, but only if they are able to withstand the pain and anguish that it inflicts. Each of them must relive their worst moments in their life and the stronger the pain the more powerful they become, only if they survive.

Olympus is now their home. Their old lives are gone. The only hope of the Universe is for them to be reborn. This is the New Beginning! <<less
