Atrous Orb II. This Fist, #5

Prince Arrett and his loyal governor Mincer have found something much worse than a fly in their soup. A destructive magical artifact has somehow infiltrated the castle and everyone is doomed! All that's left for the prince and his boon companion to do in the mortal realm is figure out how to spend however much time they have remaining- and bringing those responsible for this catastrophe to justice seems like the best idea.
Matthew Atkinson is back in black with this SHORT STORY from his collection, This Fist, that illuminates another degree of that sinister sphere, the atrous orb.
