    About this ebook

    Jon Carghen, part of an Order who dispenses justice against the immoral and supernatural, learns he is in danger by order of his leaders. Should he refuse to give up his Divine Right, he will be pursued, hunted down by his own brothers and sisters. What will Jon's decision be, and can he live with it once it's made?

    This short story is a sequel to the novella Paints the Invisible Eye, and a lead in to the upcoming Knightfall fantasy series.

    James Neal

    Now: Father of two, master of neither. A gamer since the original NES, now on the Xbox One, for better or worse. Once upon a time I was a Rent-to-Own Account Manager, now a freelance writer and artist. I've drawn everything from dragon tattoos to T-shirt designs involving a man wearing pantyhose on his head. Yes, you read that right. I've written everything from a self-published novel to copy about French chateaus and bedbugs.Before: Medically discharged from the Navy, I grabbed a Greyhound ticket to nowhere and stayed on that track for a year. I call it "Greyhound Therapy," and it gave me a much broader view of the Human Condition than I'd gotten from living in a small town with a big school in rural MO.Overall: I'm a big fan of the fantasy genre, I love the tropes even as I try to trip them up. I'm also a big fan of psychological horror; and hope one day supernatural horror gets scary again.
