Oh, my. Sold, please and thank you, and that makes three books now bought solely on the strength of the fiction posted here. I have to wonder why more publishers haven't adopted the business model of providing short stories for free in order to get readers interested in new authors, rather than continuing to publish print anthologies of reliably uneven quality, at an equal or greater cost to the reader as a full novel by an author they trust. At least for this reader, that choice has always been very simple, and has probably resulted in fewer books bought in the long run.
tl;dr: I'm glad that your Web Fiction section exists, not just this excerpt in particular. :)

Already got an early look by getting an advance copy at World Fantasy. Fun adventure and a good meditation on the price of immortality.
Lucky!! I just finished chapter 11. I managed not to read at all over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend (this pleased my wife and her family).
So far I agree with you. I also found the distinction between belief and worship very interesting. I leave it at that in order to not spoiler anyone here.
Oh, yeah and buy the book!!

Hooray! You're exactly why we're able to keep the web fiction going. :)

Seconded or maybe fifth. Im enjoying the book. Ironically, I have a player in Carrion Crown that serves the Lady of Graves. Any chance for stats ?? Please.
Stats for Salim? Perhaps someday, but not quite yet... he may yet have some growing and learning to do. :) I will give you a hint, however, and say that if you want to model him, it's worth checking out the inquisitor class in the Advanced Player's Guide!
