Shock: Anthology I

by M.G. Gallows

Alex Fossor is an outsider, vilified by many and barely tolerated by the rest… A Necromancer. Yet each step he takes, every victory he claims, sends ripples that touch the lives of thousands. The lives he takes, and those he spares, shape the world.

Even a monolithic power like the Rimbault Society—who have tirelessly controlled magic and much of civilization since the days of Victorian London—treads carefully around the mage with the power to control death itself. As threats both new and old challenge their authority, they find the Necromancer waiting for them, feet planted and ready to choke them with their own dead.

In the aftermath of each bloody battle, there are those who must pick up the pieces. Shock contains nine tales, told from the perspectives of those who have witnessed Alex’s exploits first hand. It’s a big world out there, full of magic and monsters, and this anthology is a chance for Alex Fossor fans to step out from behind his eyes and see the bigger picture - both of the world, and the Necromancer himself.
