Eric soon found himself savoring the surreal experience of walking down Park Avenue and falling in love all over again with the soaring buildings and grand architecture he had loved all his life, rubbing away the sting in his eyes as they passed a magnificent Grand Central Station. He just knew that the inviting whistle he heard was none other than a Dwarven-forged flying Scots...

“Wake up, Eric. Something unexpected happened. And watch your Strength!”

Eric quickly made his way back to where his allies were gathering, by the thankfully still upright Empire State building, a glittering beacon to 20th century industry while billowing clouds of dark smoke filled the air, countless blocks having been set ablaze, and not just from Eric.

“Fuck, they spotted us so quickly!” Eliot hissed, readying his bow as king Orlin snarled, the air ringing with the same exact twang as Eric last recalled from one of his favorite games as a six inch long steel spike shot free of the king’s gun in a burst of steam, slamming right into the aerial scout who wheezed with a bulging-eyed gasp when his polymer armor was perforated, blood ...

Extra bonus chapter release to celebrate my book release. Yay!
(Please note, this is in book 10, and won't make sense if you've only read book 8. All of book 9 and 1/2 of book 10 are available to Gold Tier members!)

I'm super excited to share the release of Silver Fox book 8: Warrior's Awakening. As many of you know, it's been a definite adventure dealing with all the publishing challenges, this time around. (A big part of why I launched Patreon.) But we did it! Book 8 (clocking in at a mighty 370,000+ words) is finally out there, looking nice and shiny with what I hope you'll agree is some sweet cover art!
I'm grateful to all of you whose support helped make this dream a...

Dwarven King Orlin Ironthews, who in that moment reminded Eric so much of a Cinematic version of Genghis Khan, held Eric’s gaze for long tense moments before turning to Luigi as the ribaldry and laughter of his champions faded to quiet murmurs and cool gazes.

Eric took a stumbling breath and fled the campus entirely, a part of him desperate to hear the bustle and call of people panicked or frustrated by the mist, praying that the city beyond… but no.
The streets were now completely empty. The once perfectly maintained colonial buildings had fallen to lifeless disrepair, and the mist was now thicker than it had ever been before.

Jim flashed a toothy smile and spoke so fast that Eric couldn’t even blink before the man was scowling, and every suppressed instinct in Eric’s psyche was howling at his peril.

Fortunately, the otherwise blinding Mist did nothing to detract from the internal map in his head. Or the brilliant warm glow of the handful of roaring soldiers calling out into the night, cries of witch and righteous persecution having slowly become the desperate call of people trying to find themselves in the mist… and somehow failing miserably.
Stumbling soldiers covered in plate, using polearms as walking sticks. Men Eric did his best to avoid as he raced across the cobblestone streets and through side passage...

Much to Eric’s surprise, Oliver merely smiled. “You’re right, they are indeed coming, and I have no doubt at all that they would happily see us all burn upon the pyre. Every last man, woman, and child among us.”
“We need to take steps! We need to fortify or flee into the forest. Perhaps Luigi can help us all step between realms?”
Oliver favored Eric with an enigmatic smile worthy of his title. “Look out the windows, my young friend. What do you see?”

Eric soon found himself under an overcast sky, taking sweet breaths of air that tasted of smoke, horse dung, and freedom, his sword cane once more in hand. All in all, he thought it a miracle that it was even back in his possession, that it hadn’t been stolen or at least unsheathed, revealing a surprise that would have led to extremely uncomfortable questions and had been a source of low key anxiety since they were first arrested.
Ivan was without any weapon at all, which wasn’t surprising, considering how deepl...

Agdelina gave the frightened serving girl a sympathetic smile. “Best you make yourself scarce, but first open the front door, child. You mean nothing to our unexpected guests. Only when our Inquisitive friends have already carted us off, will the town guard come by to bother with you. So best you be sorting inventory in the backrooms of your paw’s shop alongside your brothers, by then.”
She turned to Eric as the panicked young woman hurried off. “They came too soon. I didn’t realize faerie princes required...

With a friendly farewell from the headmaster, a bemused Eric found himself slipping free of the collegium with a final glance back at the impressive-looking building that screamed higher place of learning.
He was almost startled by Ivan’s sympathetic shoulder clasp. “I’m sorry, Eric. I was almost certain that what you sought was here. According to the rumors…” He shook his head and chuckled. “But rumors are just that, no? Still, you have mentioned having an interest in meeting dwarves, yes? It just so ha...

The remainder of their trip to town was surprisingly quiet. Eric’s oddly manic euphoria; a combination of post battle high and triumph over insanely perilous odds while unlocking skills he had feared lost to him had all been replaced by an odd sense of melancholy.
As if he had somehow lost out on taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetme opportunity, a Gentle Fate or Slice-of-Life storyline that he could never get back.
Then he flashed a bitter smile, gazing at the wolves, several now docilely dragging the wag...

"Agda!" Ivan desperately cried.
But Eric was already moving, yanking Agda back so that neither she nor her bundled baby were struck by the careening cart as it bounced through the fields, carefully packed crates and burlap sacks flying off into the thick grass before the cart toppled over in a heap of shattered lumber, crushed goods, and a squealing, shrieking draft horse whose squeals were brutally cut off as shadowy shapes tore through the growing mist and tore out its throat.
Agda stiffened, eyes wide with horror.

Eric stiffened when a certain cold-eyed man glared his way with his rifle in his lap, freezing him to stillness as he took in the stretched leather recliner cleverly put together with hardwood and animal hide.
His heart roared in his ears, yet Agda’s father made no move to point it at him, merely measured Eric with his eyes.
“It’s late.”
Eric jerked a nod. “It is, sir.”
The man frowned. “Why are you up?”
Eric solemnly lifted the empty bowl in his hand. “With respect… Agda ...

Eric stumbled back, collapsing to the soil and groaning as post battle shakes from adrenaline and certain peril overwhelmed him, along with the sudden hot spike of agony from fragile flesh torn open in the desperate frenzy of combat. His eyes squeezed tightly shut as Agda’s cry for her child touched his heart, the joy in her sob making it almost worth the pain.
Even as he shuddered and squeezed down agonized tears, feeling like he was going to vomit as the hot stench of sizzling lupine flesh and rank matted fur ne...
