The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. Cast the First Stone. April 22, 2016. April 22, 2016. Cast The First Stone. Jungles of Fain Deroth. 200 years before the Sundering. Rul had heard all the sayings about this land. As quiet as things may get, death was always less than a heartbeat away. With a quiet motion, one of the other two turned, watching carefully. Legionaries, Rul could tell at once, stepped out from the thick foliage. You there, the first legionary said as he walked towards them....

https://legacyofash.wordpress.com/2016/09/26/review-the-vagrant-by-peter-newman
The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. Review: ‘The Vagrant’ by Peter Newman. September 26, 2016. September 26, 2016. It’s been a while since I’ve read anything as original (and yet still somehow familiar) as ‘The Vagrant’ by Peter Newman. Set in a futuristic dystopia where unnatural, abstract demons prowl a broken landscape in search of…food? No, not just food…living beings to inhabit and manipulate? The seven angelic beings who are the last hope for the mortal world? Is out now, and I’m ...

Sons of Midnight – LEGACY OF ASH
https://legacyofash.wordpress.com/excerpts/sons-of-midnight
The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. An excerpt from “Sons of Midnight”, a Legacy of Ash novel-in-progress by Christopher Æsc Adams. Poor bastards, Raphe muttered. Omaré, buckling on her breastplate, just grunted in agreement. The deepest shaft had just reached the two hundred and fifty foot mark. Twenty miners had been in the depths, working the new gallery, hewing out a rich gold vein discovered in just the last few months. From the overseer’s shanty an alarm gong clanged five times. Chant r...

The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. The Hounds of Tyrant. An excerpt from “The Hounds of Tyrant”, a Legacy of Ash novel-in-progress by James Downe. The Islands of Koi Rhe Veil. The sea had all but consumed their sanity. Salt and wind had dried their skin and hair, their lips split and crusted with blood. At first none of the crew of the small craft believed what they saw, a bleak stretch of shore and sand on the horizon. They simply stared through their weathered, sun-bleached masks. Holeni s...

Review: ‘Shadow Ops – Control Point’ by Myke Cole – LEGACY OF ASH
https://legacyofash.wordpress.com/2016/05/16/review-shadow-ops-control-point-by-myke-cole
The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. Review: ‘Shadow Ops – Control Point’ by Myke Cole. May 16, 2016. July 24, 2016. By Christopher Æsc Adams. An adrenaline-fueled ride through a darkly-imagined present or near-future setting in which anyone can manifest proscribed magical abilities. Cole deftly balances the believable government stance against unsanctioned magic-use with the dilemma faced by those who suddenly manifest strange and potentially-lethal new abilities. Cast the First Stone. You ar...

Editing Was Supposed to Make It Smaller – LEGACY OF ASH
https://legacyofash.wordpress.com/2016/05/27/editing-was-supposed-to-make-it-smaller
The World of Calus Rukan. The Hounds of Tyrant. Editing Was Supposed to Make It Smaller. May 27, 2016. Alright, so I’m pleased to say that I’ve recently finished another whole edit on a Legacy of Ash manuscript. It’s a full novel here, or at least that’s what I am working towards. This is also about the third or fourth solid, straight read-through edit I’ve done. So what did I do in this edit? Tyrant, City of Masks. Editing is the Long Con. Well, maybe. But life has interjected a lot during the last ...
