Opus 3 (An Okal Rel Universe Legacy Anthology)
The authors in this anthology have each approached the theme of 'Pretenders' from a unique and exciting perspective. The characters you are about to meet choose to hide or misrepresent their status, abilities, education, ambition, sexuality, spirituality, intentions or their past. It’s not just the main characters either; nearly every character is hiding something or wishing to be perceived in some way.
Stories include: "Blind Stitches" by A. M. Stickel, "Sword Crossed Paths" by Elizabeth Woods, "Nestors Gap" by Hal Friesen and "Pennies in the Well" by Amelia Shackelford. This anthology also contains sketches of characters by Richard Bartrop.
