But the cost of his monstrous allies and brutal methods weighs heavy. A lone Knight stands in the way of the Last Warlord, determined to reignite the Warlord's humanity and redeem the rebellion.

Alec Peterson has been writing for several decades. His work includes urban fiction, dystopian fantasy, horror, and poetry. He won a Hugo Award for Best Related Work in 2019 alongside his sister. He is currently a reclusive author who is slowly making his way to Tangier by way of Florence and Kyoto to live out the classical author's life of overindulgence and consorting with the spirits of those storytellers more talented than himself. Hugo Award-winning author Charlotte Faris is a born and raised Wisconsin native. When she's not agonizing over dialogue or plot points, you can find her slinging scripts as a Certified Pharmacy Technician, causing mischief with her son Jonah, or re-reading The Green Mile for the millionth time with one (or all) of her three cats on her lap.
