Reviews

[Fiona · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short little situation where the powerful sorcerer Ctesias becomes the (almost) helpless prey of warp predators. An entertaining, though brief, hunt ensues.

Amazingly detailed

[David Strašák · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really good short story that is a prequel to the First Prince short story. This story went on really fast and to the point, but it still was interesting, even including plot twists.
