"Grimm-like fairy tales for Grimdark readers."

-- S.E. Lindberg, Black Gate - Adventures in Fantasy Literature

From Scott Forbes Crawford, author of Silk Road Centurion comes a collection of tales to thrill and bewitch. Previously published in SNAFU: Holy War, Bards and Sages, Sword and Sorcery Magazine and elsewhere, these stories of hard-bitten fighters and crafty innocents will spirit you off to realms of peril and awe:

“The Carving of a Warrior” – A young woman crossing a monster-infested forest must sculpt a new destiny if she is to survive.

“Heart of a Samurai” – In the tradition of Japanese ghostly tales, a proud warrior learns the limits of his purity, courtesy of a cat.

“A Thief’s Work” – A novelette of intrigue and conspiracy in a city enslaved to the magical drug Sorcel. Can a burglar recruited into the resistance free her people?

“Besting the Beast” – After the onslaught of a demonic horde, a former bandit who left his savage ways behind him finds they may be of use after all.

“Half-baked Hero” – When a bodyguard encounters an outlandish client, she faces a choice between her past and future, vengeance and honor.

Plus an excerpt from Silk Road Centurion, the chronicle of a Roman soldier fighting to make a life on the ancient Chinese frontier, called “a riveting action-packed novel” by Asian Review of Books.
