What The Axe Did Next: A Son of the Axe Novella

By D.P. Martínez

## Book 1.5 in the Son of the Axe series ##

The axe should have stayed in the bin.

After centuries bound to one family, a cursed medieval relic is finally cast aside on a quiet London street. But some objects do not accept endings. When it is picked up by a man who has already slipped through the cracks of the city, the axe begins to move again, from Parliament to forgotten corners of London, quietly reshaping the lives it touches.

As chance encounters turn into something far less accidental, the city itself seems to respond, drawing the axe ever closer to places most people never see, and to a presence that has been waiting far longer than any human memory.

This dark and atmospheric companion story to Son of the Axe explores obsession and belonging, with humour and wit.

This story takes place after the events of Son of the Axe. It can be read on its own, but readers may enjoy it more after reading the novel.
