Amarathine with Other Short Stories and Poems

By Arron Steep

In this collection of 10 short stories and 10 poems written by Arron Steep, the author explores themes of purpose and faith, love and angst, as well as every-day hardship. Arron touches on what it means to feel deeply, to wonder and learn from the world around us. Appreciate such stories as "The Mangar Prince and the Fairest Daughter" which is styled after classic fairy tales, and enjoy the lyrical religious allegory of "The King's Promise". Wrestle with the complications of young love as depicted in "Reality's Rope" and be absorbed in a heavenly quest for earthly virtue in "Amaranthine: Divine Descent".
