In a world full of gods and magic, a town stands ruined. Cursed by plagues that foul the water and fields, and reduce the townsfolk to rancid ghouls craving human flesh.

The town's only hope? Two farmers-turned-soldiers. Decker and Holst, back from five years' fighting for their baron. Together with a noble priest, they need to break the curse -- without killing the townsfolk.

But first, they must overcome the plague master and his magic.

The Curse of Valassa, a fantasy short story full of magic, gods, adventure, and a desperate battle to save those who cannot save themselves. From Stefon Mears, author of With a Broken Sword and Twice Against the Dragon.
