If A Tree Falls

A New Flash Fiction story available only to members at Sci-Fi Shorts! One of J. Charles's most poignant think-pieces about what it means to be alone in the universe.









The Trials of Magnus

Gods are not immune to the failings of mortals.

For generations the land of Liuwrend has been watched over by the Seven, a group of mortals who have ascended to godhood. The Seven and each of their champions, the Eirskottir, are charged with maintaining the balance of their land and exacting their will.

Lies, jealousy, and an ancient secret threaten to destroy that balance when a God who should have been long dead finds an instrument for revenge in her own Eirskottir, Magnus. Now, with wars looming and the interference of those who would rather keep the past hidden, Magnus must confront the gods themselves, learn the truth of his destiny, and bring the land of Liuwrend into a new age.
