Rider in the Widow Lands: A Sword & Sorcery Short Story

A Short Tale of Sword & Sorcery

A forgotten age when god-lore and magic drove warriors on quests of blood and gold.

The Rider, the progeny of ghoul and man, escorts a small, crumbling ossuary atop his Friesian. His destination is a hidden dale in the Widow Lands, where, temple monks claim, widows of the Great God Scar breathe life into bones long dead. How else does one speak privately with a priest who died a thousand years ago? For he is the man in the charnel box, and the secret he possesses isn’t to be shared with necromancers or moribund gods.
