Rising Wonder: Demons, Devils, & Dark Gods

By Dan Zangari and M H Woodscourt

RISING WONDER: Demons, Devils, & Dark Gods brings together seventeen tales from independently published authors who range from veteran USA Today Bestsellers to debut storytellers.

Within these pages you will confront evil entities across unique fantasy settings, some tragic and others heroic: Space-faring dark elves bent on galactic dominion tighten their grip on Losarys, a relic is forged from the gods of Chaos, and an initiate dreamwalker confronts a demon upon the dreamscape of Kalda.

Men will fall from grace, twisted to become demons or descend to the depths of dark godhood. Planes of reality are bridged in serious and comedic tales of classic demonology.

Cursed beings and denizen creatures of the netherworld make their appearance, flipping well-known tropes on their heads. And the God of Orvu breaks free of his prison in the depths of Tardalim in preparation for the return of his evil Master.

RISING WONDER aims to showcase diverse and unique voices in the fantasy and science fiction genres.

This anthology includes: Garden of the Gods, The Dice of Chaos, A Pupil's Mistake, Throne of Bone, Tavish, Of Ashes and Fire, Sparky the Redcap, Bargaining with a Fae Queen, The Darkness of Immortal Souls, Living Dead Beauty, Beast of Bone, The Thespian Demon of the Abyss, Of Gods and Plagues, Adventures in Demon Sitting, Toddler's Best Friend, Blessings of Blood, Heleron's Awakening.
