Review: Fantastic Short!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This short story is a prequel to the rest of the series. It can be read as a stand alone.Usually short stories are not the best reads. I usually bypass them, but since this was a freebie and it introduced me to Mr. Sullivan's work, I was plesantly surprised. This short takes us into a world of fantasy. Two swordsmen/thieves making their way thru the woods happen upon a ragged witch, who begs for their help in evicting a man from her barn. Of course the men are at odds about helping this woman, one being ready and able to assist her, while the other is weary and more at odds with assisting her. Things are not what they seem to be once in the barn, could this be a trick and a lesson to the swordsmen? Have the thieves themselves, been stolen from? A mystery, and engrossing tale. The bantor of the two main characters are refreshing and enjoyable to read. It will leave you hungry for more of this series and more from these two characters and their adventures.*Author's notes and a tease of Theft Of Swords are included in this short.
