Swords, Cider, and Other Distractions

A Glass Immortals Novella

By: Brian McClellan

Narrated by: Damian Lynch

Chaos is the word of the day in the provinces of the Ossan Empire. The city of Holikan has risen up in revolt, only to be put down again by the Ossan Foreign Legion under the command of Demir Grappo. But that wasn’t the plan, and Demir has fled his responsibilities after witnessing the brutality of his own troops. He wanders aimlessly, a husk of his former self, until his quest to escape his guilt crosses paths with a foreigner on a mission of her own.

Far to the north, a holy sword has been stolen from the Court of Lilies. Squire Ciata tracks the thieves to an Ossan guild-family. She does not know the rules of this strange land, only that the sword does not belong to them. An army of enforcers stands between her and its return. A hopeless cause, if not for the help of a broken young man she meets along the way.

Great

Really wish he would just write a full book. I love this series so far.

Missing a chunk at the end of chapter 2

Missing a chunk at the end of chapter 2. Otherwise quite good. Really enjoy this universe.
