The Book of the Dead: Oliphant Judas

By Florin-Marian Hera

THE STARS DECIDE WHO YOU ARE. HE WAS BORN BETWEEN THEM.

Oliphant Judas never wanted the family forge. He wanted books, Lucky Strikes and a quiet life in Dvali, a coal town where the worst thing that happens is a late trolley.

Then a smoke ring, a stranger with a Rubik's Cube and a courthouse cell with ten people in it change everything. A silver-tongued drug lord named Corazon gets him out, and the price is a long ride into Boh, where the guilds are worse than the guards.

The gods are still watching. They write the dead into books, and whoever reads one to the last page inherits the dead man's power. Oli was born between the stars, with no element and no explanation for why every dangerous person he meets already knows his name.

He has a voicemail he refuses to finish, a lawyer he can't quite trust, and a bad feeling about owls.

A dark-comic fantasy. Maps and the Heranian alphabet translation are included.
