A WORLD BEYOND A SINGLE STORY
Welcome to Yar.
Tales of Yar begins with a dark fantasy short story about obedience, violence, and moral compromise. Its characters have reasons for what they do. Understanding those reasons does not make their choices easier to forgive.

Power has a price
Magic is never just a gift. Every choice reaches beyond the one who makes it.
II
History has a keeper
Knowledge can illuminate a world—or become the instrument used to control it.
III
No one is innocent forever
Heroes, villains, and everyone between must live with the consequences of their convictions.

The Executioner’s Robes
The Men of Wise wear spotless white robes. Their work is considerably less clean.
For fifteen years, one of their most gifted executioners has followed orders, perfected her brutal craft, and kept every drop of blood from staining her robes. Now a young farmer stands condemned for using ordinary magic to water her crops—and the executioner suspects something is wrong.
Darkly humorous and brutally violent. A standalone dark fantasy short story with morally complex characters, introducing the world of Yar.
For mature readers. Contains graphic violence and other disturbing content.
