For those of you who like short stories here is another one.

Taelan Muntalabac is the Hate-Monger, a creature born to feast on the hatred and malice of men, and the Andaur Empire is the stage for his grand machinations.
Opposite him stands Maevos Avenar, a man destined to be his nemesis from birth, but who has no knowledge of him or the war their families have fought for centuries.

This is slightly different than our normal post, but here we can place it for free.

Thomas died young, leaving behind a cherished but poor family. Now his soul is wandering the vast realms of Death in pursuit of a distant hope. There is a way to escape Death and return to the living, but it is perilous and a single misstep would lead to the eradication of his essence. Nonetheless, Thomas must return to his loved ones with only the help of a child's soul and that of a bitter woman.
