Since they were sundered, the fraternal Empires of Blue and Green and Red and Ivory have struggled for primacy. Eternally bound in competition, they lurch from raid to war, peace forever on the horizon, forever out of reach. When indifferent priest and degenerate gambler Thnitossi's debt becomes more than he can pay, he finds his feet set on a path which could lead to Empires' end. A collection of brand new novelettes and short stories, “The Path to Empires’ End” tracks the rise of the Convocation of the Blessed, a martial brotherhood gifted with divine powers, powers which their Emperor believes can forever assure his land’s supremacy. Praise for “The Path of Pain and Ruin” “Joel Glover... sure knows how to write... At times I was reminded of the Malazan novels by Steven Erikson or Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook” @Theemptybkshelf Amazon “A hauntingly grim & harrowing addictive page turning thrill. Awesome!” “It’s raw, it’s brutal, visual, violent and bloody beautiful. A definite must read.” “I was definitely not prepared for The Path of Pain and Ruin to end.”
