I’m excited to help Michael Michel spread the word about today’s publication of the relaunched prequel novella in his Dreams of Dust and Steel series, War Song. A sequel novella is due in a couple of months, and what better way to tide yourself over until Book Three than by reading a couple of novellas that help introduce the world?

About the Book:
Admar’s future is a path paved with broken glass.
Each step forward living under Scothean tyranny cuts away another piece of his humanity–right down to the bone.
But even a meager life as a miner is better than a pointless death. A sister, a mother, a lover, all lost at the uncaring hands of the Scoths, have left him with nothing but memories and ash for comfort. While stories like his are all too common, they still aren’t enough to stoke rebellion among the oppressed.
If Admar is to find hope amid the brutal occupation of his homeland, he’ll have to question how deep his convictions go. For with every crack of the enemy’s whip, he’ll know torment. With every swipe of their axes, he’ll know suffering. And every moment he refuses to act will drag him further from his destiny.
Maybe there are no more heroes left…
Or maybe they’re waiting to be made.
