The Poisons of Aemida

ByChristopher Bradley

Octavian Tiani must travel into a savage and wild land to find find the weapons the Republic of Savrille needs to fight the Alchemist King Calumbert. He will face peril from without and betrayal from within. This is a 9200 word novella that takes the reader on a journey into a dangerous land of action, mystery and treachery. This free novella is a teaser for the fascinating world and times of the Republic of Savrille. Part of a cycle that starts here but includes "A Dread and Dire Work", "The Strangers of Racontal", "The Gaol of the Republic" and "The Dragon of Qadis". <p> As an author, I attempt to write characters caught up in worlds of mystery and horror, keeping an eye to verismilitude and psychological depth. I try to avoid most of the tedious cliches of fantasy fiction, writing for adults, mixing exoticism with gripping characterization and strong plots. My influences in fiction include H. P. Lovecraft, Robert Howard, George R. R. Martin, Roger Zelazny and Michael Moorcook.
