The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men. It's up to the daughters of Manreach to save what's left of the human kingdoms. They'll fight every weapon at hand, with fearsome gods at their backs and brutal monsters at their sides. Galva - Galvicha to her three brothers, also under arms against the foe - has defied her family's wishes and joined the army's untested new unit, the Raven Knights, to serve at the side of women who, like her, have chosen the battlefield over the marriage bed.

A traveller walks down a forest road alone. A thief waits by the roadside. But today, Kinch has chosen the wrong mark. Galva is a knight, a survivor of the brutal goblin wars and patron of the goddess of death. She is searching for her missing queen, whom no one has seen since her city fell to giants. After Kinch's attempt to rob Galva goes horribly wrong, his fate becomes locked to hers.

Uncover the secret annals of untold history in these eighteen medieval manuscripts. Each tortured scribe will bring you face to face with ancient horrors lurking in cursed castles, wild woodlands, haunted hamlets, and mysterious monasteries. Including a lineup of authors both established and emerging, HOWL Society Press presents the first-ever anthology of historical horror from the medieval period, fittingly introduced by the writer who arguably started it all: Christopher Buehlman, author of the medieval horror epic Between Two Fires.

A death row cell that recounts the dark stories of its inmates. An informant who consumes shards of crystallized skulls to see the past. A world where to speak of the dead is a violation of an unjust society's rules. Heists, drugs, cults, detectives, murder, monsters, revenge.

Kinch Na Shannack schuldet der Diebesgilde ein kleines Vermögen für seine Ausbildung, die unter anderem das Knacken von Schlössern, den Kampf mit Messern, das Erklettern von Mauern, das Weben von Lügen, das Fallenstellen sowie ein paar kleinere Zaubereien umfasst. Seiner Schulden wegen liegt er an der alten Waldstraße auf der Lauer, um den nächsten Reisenden, der seinen Weg kreuzt, auszurauben. Doch an diesem Tag hat Kinch sich das falsche Ziel ausgesucht. Galva ist Ritterin, eine Überlebende der brutalen Koboldkriege, und Dienerin der Todesgöttin.
