Destiny's Ire

By Howard Shuford

In a far off land in some other time lives Kyle, a ubiquitous farmboy. Saddled with with a physical handicap (one that is minor to others but debilitating to him) he resigns himself to the ignoble profession of a scholar. When mistaken for a prophet of a religion no one believes in, Kyle finds himself forced to prophesy before a king, and makes the most outrageous-and dreadful-prognostication he can muster. Unfortunately, the prophecy comes true, and Kyle is thrust into the secret world of the Thirteen Kings, where lust for power and use of the foul magicks supposedly banned long ago is bringing the world to the brink of destruction. Now, Kyle realizes that by right of his office, he alone can solve the mystery...and all the while Darius the Elder waits in the wings. Darius, scribe to a foolish king with no verve; Darius, the scribe who yearns to write the greatest chronicle of tragedy and triumph ever written-at a whatever the cost.
