Greystone continues this week over on the Patreon with Tales from Portents. Free Mondays allow you to read every chapter of the Greystone Saga from start to finish.
What is Tales from Portents?
Six tales of monsters, the dead rising, and the terrors of Portents.
The unwritten rule of the city warns of danger in the night. That is when myths and legends—long thought lost to the world—claim Portents for their own.
Explore the city’s immersive history as a young Alejo Ruiz is introduced not only to the man known as Mentor, but a dangerous band of winged killers.
Witness mayhem and murder as Soriya, wielding her powerful Greystone, battles gremlins, navigates lessons with Mentor, and meets the werewolf Luchik.
Greg Loren faces his own trials as well. When offered the chance to bring his wife back from the dead, can he resist the temptation? Given the choice between the past and his future, where will Loren stand? And who will pay the price for his decision?
Follow new characters with expansive histories as they come face to face with the horrors of Portents—both human and otherwise.
Six tales to terrify and delight…
Over the course of the next seven weeks, you’ll be able to enjoy these prequel stories set in the Greystone universe. They are in timeline order, starting with Ruiz’s first encounter with the darker side of Portents. It also introduces a major new player into the mythos named Julian Harvey, who plays a key role in future events.
Next week, the tales continue with a personal favorite: Gremlins. For those interested in the Loren-Standish rivalry, their doomed relationship starts here.
The importance of Tales.
My original intent was to simply flesh out the world of Portents with this short story collection. Instead, almost every major aspect of the wider arc was introduced within these pages. From Harvey to the Heads of Cerberus to Richard Crowne’s Resurrectionists, so many threads started here.
The schedule:
- April 27th – The Great Divide
- May 4th – Gremlins
- May 11th – A View from Above
- May 18th – Resurrectionists (1 of 2)
- May 25th – Resurrectionists (2 of 2)
- June 1st – Eyes in the Storm
- June 8th – The Consultant
I hope you’ll check out the Patreon. Enjoy Tales from Portents!
