The Fury of the Ziggurat

By Matthew Phillips

The dark fantasy adventure begins... with a heist

The dead are supposed to serve the living - and so they do - but Epifani's gift gives her insight into their true feelings. She alone senses their hostility, and knows that under their placid facade of docile obedience, the dead hate the living.

Shaped by a childhood trauma, she forges a path of resistance and sabotage as she attempts to undermine the practice of universal undeath by any means necessary. Together with an accomplice who shares neither her goals nor her methods, she breaks into the Ziggurat - the home of the cult of religious fanatics who venerate the undead - intent on destruction.

Instead, they unleash a monster, and set in motion a chain of events that might eventually change their world forever. Epifani must confront her worst fears if she is to survive.

The Fury of the Ziggurat is a prequel novella set in the world of the Ever-Setting Sun. Read this as a standalone or at any point in the Ever-Setting Sun series.
