The Playwright

Is there a price too high to pay for fulfilling one's destiny, and changing the world? Having just finished his magnum opus, famed playwright Hon Jia is forced to confront this question when a band of separatists enter the picture and threaten everything he has worked so hard to accomplish. With the betterment of humanity at stake, is there a price too high, or bloody cost too great, he wouldn't pay? The Playwright is a short story set in the high fantasy universe of The Winds of Taramore.

Oh, thematic music?

M.P. Tayle

M.P. Tayle (Matthew Taylor) spent years as a Cyber Operations Sergeant in the United States Army, which is a fancy way of saying he knows exactly how technology can go sideways — and loves writing stories about what happens when it does. He's the author of the Jax Jensen Trilogy and writes science fiction and fantasy that's equal parts adventure, heart, and "oh no, that could actually happen."

When not writing, he's rolling dice over Warhammer 40,000, drawing on Procreate, and being bossed around by a Maltipoo who thinks she runs the house.
