Discover
13 Original Stories in Children of the Rune
June
10, 2004 (Renton, Wash.) -- Thirteen new stories bring
the lands of the Diamond Throne to life in Children
of the Rune, the first fiction release from Monte
Cook's Malhavoc Press. The e-Book edition of this anthology
is on sale today.
Each
story in the book explores the magical runechildren: heroes
mystically granted a distinctive runic tattoo and supernatural
powers they can use to benefit the realm. The stories
also explore the concepts of honor over personal desire,
individual choice over destiny, the value of ritual, and
the power of one's sworn word. And for game fans, they
provide a wealth of new source material for players of
Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed
campaigns.
Children
of the Rune comes as a 287-page e-Book (PDF file)
with a streamlined page design to minimize file size for
faster downloading and conserve ink for quicker printing.
The book, edited by Sue Weinlein Cook, features the fiction
of Monte Cook, Ed Greenwood, and Jeff Grubb, plus Wolfgang
Baur, Richard Lee Byers, Bruce R. Cordell, Miranda Horner,
Will McDermott, Mike Mearls, Thomas M. Reid, Lucien Soulban,
Stan!, and Keith Francis Strohm. This electronic edition
is available now for only $4 exclusively from
DriveThruRPG.com. Interested readers can sample
teasers from each story free.
