    About this ebook

    At the Silver Tower of Yllathyra, the Elven sages and mystics taught the elder magic to human children, in an effort to bridge the divide between the two races. The nature of mankind being what it is, however, it became obvious that such an endeavor could only result in tragedy and war. Here are the stories of the heroes and villains who fought at the Silver Tower.

    This anthology of Dark Fantasy Flash Fiction contains ten exciting stories.

    Each self-contained tale is exactly five hundred words in length, and one or more can easily be enjoyed in a single sitting.
