Keeper of Prophecy: A Fatal Empire Short

I have never put much stock in prophecy. I may serve as the goddess's loyal daughter, but I make my own way in this world.

In an empire beset by violence and intrigue, to put your faith in anything beyond your own two hands means almost certain death. The blood embedded beneath my fingernails confirms it.

...But some destinies, you cannot outrun.

Meet Raziel's mother Moriah, and learn her secret past in this short story prequel from the richly imagined Fatal Empire fantasy series by the author of the World of Lasniniar series, Jacquelyn Smith.
