Today we have the pleasure of revealing the cover of The Pawn, the first of the stories by invited writers at Unearthed Stories. In this case, it's a short story with two endings (5k words), written by Thomas J Devens.
Let's take a look at the blurb:
War has ravaged Volgsland. Blood soaks the soil upon which the lords have fallen. Those that have survived the Battle of Torglen seek purpose. Lost souls wandering a desolate land. A former conscript awakes amid the chaos in a foreign land. Will they find their peace? Or will the cycle of violence continue? This is a standalone short story set in the world of Vermin of The Old Empire.
Cover and edition has been realized by Livia J. Elliot.
