Sinopsis

Pageantry, pomp, pretense, and peril-'The General?s Turn,' originally published in The Deadlands, drew readers into the dark world of a ceremony where Death herself might choose to join the audience... or step onto the stage.Award-winning author Premee Mohamed presents three brand new stories set in this morally ambiguous world of war and magic. In 'One Message Remains,' Major Lyell Tzajos leads his team on a charity mission through the post-armistice world of East Seudast, exhuming the bones and souls of dead foes for repatriation. But the buried fighters may have one more fight left in them-and they have chosen their weapons well.In 'The Weight of What is Hollow,' Taya is the latest apprentice of a long-honored tradition: building the bone-gallows for prisoners of war. But her very first commission will pit her skills against both her family and her oppressor.Finally, in 'Forsaking All Others,' ex-soldier Rostyn must travel the little-known ways by night to avoid his pursuers, for desertion is punishable by death. As he flees to the hoped-for sanctuary of his grandmother?s village, he is joined by a fellow deserter-and, it seems, the truth of a myth older than the land itself.
