Arisa: a world of loss and hardship; of legend and wonder; the world of
A Warrior's Path. Return there now with Stories from Arisa, a short
story collection featuring four wonderful new fables from that mythic
place; each one a polished gem; together, an assemblage spanning the
realms of hope, humor, tragedy, loss, and love.
"Received Wisdom"
The Baels of the Eastern Plague have fallen away from Hume's teachings.
It is Li-Dirge who finds leadership thrust upon him. He must challenge
the SarpanKum and return his brothers to the path of fraternity.
"The Prank"
The House of Fire and Mirrors. The Fort and the Sword. Both are Kumma
military academies and fierce rivals in the city of Ashoka. The Wrath is
the annual competition between the two schools, deciding bragging rights
for the next year, but it is the Prank that dictates who laughs last and
longest. This year, it is especially important for Rukh, Keemo, Farn,
and Jaresh.
"A Lesson Learned"
Drin Port only wanted a long, tall drink. Many long, tall drinks. When
chance brings him the opportunity of a lifetime, will he have the wisdom
to take advantage of it?
"The Missing Diamond"
Rector Bryce is called upon to investigate a missing diamond. The thief
is not at all who he would have expected.
