Featured Story
Sky Over Mountain
by James Callan
Noma awoke with golden eyes, and for the trolls living under the mountain, Cairn, that means one thing: she must ascend the mountain to die under the sky. Halbert has been sent to the mountain to discover where the trolls go to die—if he can retrieve their horns, his family will forever live in prosperity.
