With the Empress removed, the empire she had built and the religion she had formed to support it come crashing down in flames, all contact between gods and men sundered, prayers and sacrifices useless, creatures summoned from other planes stranded. But the Empress is merely trapped and searching for a way to escape and rebuild Her demesne on the ashes of Her empire.

Gartan the Cursed, her slave and assassin, seeks to destroy every trace of Her but will never be truly free ever again. Lyi Mum, High Priest and Mayor, wants to rule in her stead, Fedtha, Master Wizardess, Summoner Supreme, only wants to turn a profit by telling the people what they want to hear and filling the void left by the absence of the gods.

In the end, there are some evils always out there waiting to take advantage of the slightest weakness.

Loathsome Tales of Vengeance and Freedom is a collection of Dark Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery short stories.
