Night of the Taking

The Fractured Tapestry
by Scott Kaelen
Night of the Taking (The Fractured Tapestry) by Scott Kaelen
Unrated

A short story.

Night Of The Taking is a short story which is meant as an introduction to the world of Verragos in which the Fractured Tapestry series is set.

The Volami opened the walls of their shining city of Midhallow and invited the surrounding tribesfolk to venture within. Decades later, the two races dwell together inside the city, not quite as equals, and watched over by the ever-present Retainers. A treaty, offered by the tribes to the Volami, was to seal their tenuous union during a long-held ritual. But it was a ruse. The celebrations became the bloodiest treachery the Volami would ever know, and set in motion events that would echo down the ages.
