Inn Quell. Serene Grace, #1

Trapped, drunk, guilt-ridden. Sounds like a recipe for a good violent time at the Ink Well Tavern. Kiganeh is a mercenary so hard-bitten that there's practically nowhere else to bite without getting sick. Just the kind of person to notice that things are starting to get weird. Matthew Atkinson pours you a cold, nihilistic SHORT STORY from his collection, Serene Grace, that shows that taverns are as good for fantasy endings as beginnings.
