Forced to flee with her village, priestly apprentice, Althessa, discovers that danger comes in many guises and salvation is often unexpected. When their undead pursuers are slain by an unknown force, Althessa assists her mistress in consecrating their remains to ensure they cannot return from the dead, yet again. But magick calls from a nearby forest, and another life is in danger. One of those responsible for bringing down their pursuers is balanced on the edge of death. With the priests too busy to assist, and only her wizardly brother to help her, can Althessa perform the healing required, or will the attempt bring death to all who dare it?

Magick on the Forest's Edge is a fantasy short story, where two children investigate a magical alarm, and face the consequences of trying to do the right thing against great odds. It is currently available as a stand-alone title, but will one day be available as part of An Anthology of Gods and Older Magick.
