grandfather would know what to do.
If you are a fan of Hordes/WarMachine
you will love this fast-paced action
novella. If like me you have never heard
of Hordes/WarMachine you will be
sucked into the universe. Perhaps the
Skorne can purify you through pain as
they do their own warriors.

have all but vanished from the land.
Now Malik, the God of War and Peace,
has devised a plan to champion the war
and win back the faithful they have lost.
He has created nine swords, each a
godslayer in its own right, designed to
be given unto the faithful, with the
mission to seek out and slay the Gods
of the New Order. However, even the
best laid plans of a God can go awry,
and the swords were cast into the
mortal realm, ensorceled in a prophecy
that has bound the Gods to a new set
of rules, a set that requires their creating
a mortal agent in the world to seek out
the swords and assure their purpose be
carried out.

One by Ron Glick

Nathaniel Goodsmith becomes the
selected agent of the Old Gods, a
reluctant Avatar required by the Gods
to seek out their weapons before they
can fall into the hands of the New
Order. However, though his mother
was a devoted druidess, Nathaniel owes
no allegiance to the Gods. The last
thing he wishes to do is to abandon his
family and home and travel across the
countryside at the bequest of Gods
long-since thought dead. But the
machinations of the Old Gods have not
left Nathaniel able to easily walk away
from his destiny, and in the end, it may
take a loss greater than he can bear to
compel him to aid the Gods in their
foolish war.
