Description
No one can escape destiny. But that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
Within this fast-paced anthology of historical short stories and novelettes, each protagonist must face their own day of reckoning: a day when decisions must be made and action taken.
Including a duplicitous Renaissance priest, an outraged Civil War widow, a jealous 17th century nobleman, and an ambitious ‘50s dress designer, ten compelling protagonists embrace or deny the darkness within to displace rivals, conceal indiscretions, wreak vengeance, and justify evil deeds. Confronted with the consequences of their choices, they find their own destinies--some good, others bad, and a few to the depths of despair.
Across the United States, to India and Europe, from medieval Ireland to the Golden Age of Hollywood, ten suspenseful stories take the reader past the point of no return.
Time’s up, game’s over, destiny has come due.
Some of the stories in this book explore the darker side of human history and human nature. Our authors were given a theme: 'a day of reckoning,' which calls forth heinous villains perpetrating despicable acts, but also valiant heroes who vanquish them. We promise you both in this volume.
