The Poet's Eye

The Poet’s Eye is epic fantasy about a red-headed farm boy who steals a magical amulet to keep his family from killing each other for it—again. Giving up all he knows to protect them isn’t too big a sacrifice.   Too bad it turns out to be a hoax. Especially since an actual magical amulet would be real handy about the time an inhuman horde begins to invade.   So now he’s partners with a notorious sorcerous highwaywoman and facing down a legendary threat, and they have to stop an evil queen who is saving thousands of lives from a horrific death.   “Surely that’s a typo—you must mean they have to stop an evil queen who is ending thousands of lives.”   I said what I said.   Want to try a short story for free?
