This week’s Inklet is When War Came To Town, one of my Powers short stories – a loosely connected cycle of stories about the Powers, superhero-type figures that are reborn endlessly throughout history and who work in opposition to maintain the balance of the world.
When War Came To Town focuses on, oddly enough, War – but also on Peace, and more specifically on the awakening of a new bearer of the mantle of Peace – in a way that everyone else finds somewhat surprising 😉
The small town of Renph: a cosy, happy little place—at least until recently. Now, violence explodes in the streets, rumours whisper in the dark, and people hang in the square.
And no one knows why.
No one—except Tikva. But what can a seven-year-old do against a tidal wave of hatred? Or against the strange flame-haired woman who rode into town on her jet-black horse?
A richly imagined tale that demonstrates the power of love—no matter what the age.
