Volume #0.55
{an interactive
short story}
A good soldier follows orders.
An assassin, haunted by a dark past, is ordered to eliminate a rebel sympathizer. When she discovers a child caught in the conflict, her mission unravels. With enemies closing in and time running out, she must decide between following the empire’s orders or risking everything to protect the child.
Failure could cost her more than just her mission—it could destroy everything she’s ever known.
This is a stand-alone short story set in the land of Quinaria.
​
In the Shadow of Duty is an interactive short story that takes place over two thousand years prior to the events in Of Thieves and Shadows—volume one in the epic fantasy series, The Heart of Quinaria—and picks up shortly after the events in From the Ashes (though reading that first is not required). It is available for FREE through the Unearthed Stories application in partnership with Prowess Games. This story is similar to that of a choose-your-own-adventure structure and has multiple branches and endings based on what decisions are made by you, the reader.
