Is it Fate, or is it Fortuity? Perhaps it's Magic . . . Six fantasy stories filled with hope and heartbreak, suspense and surprises, and some chuckles. *** One story: To Chase a Lore A food-taster who steals food. His fantastical penalty. Will he survive? Lestrum is a food-taster to the wealthy Overlord's family. Summoned for stealing food for his wife and child, he fears severe consequences. Instead, he's blamed for a ghastly crime he didn't commit. His punishment: exile. That is, unless he fulfills a command-an errand so ridiculous in concept that it stinks of failure from the start. How is he to secure something that existed only in folklore? Lestrum doesn't know where to begin when he's released outside his oppressed city. He's mired in desperation and fearful of the consequences of his failure. Can Lestrum succeed at the impossible task and reunite with his family? *** Six stories set in a world (Sigilis Septerra) of seven continents and multiple islands. A food-taster's impossible penalty. An accidentally exposed magical secret. A perplexing delusion. A plotting Djinn. Curses riding descending kites. A lady-in-waiting and a supposed witch's gift. *** If you like intriguing settings, compelling characters, and a highly imaginative set of vignettes, let this entertaining short story collection called FATE & FORTUITY by Niki Patel take you on an adventure today!
