One story: To Chase a Lore
A food-taster who steals food. His fantastical penalty. Will he survive?
Lestrum is a food-taster to the wealthy Overlord's family. Summoned for stealing food for his wife and child, he fears severe consequences. Instead, he's blamed for a ghastly crime he didn't commit. His punishment: exile. That is, unless he fulfills a command-an errand so ridiculous in concept that it stinks of failure from the start. How is he to secure something that existed only in folklore?
Mired in desperation, Lestrum doesn't know where to begin when he's released outside his oppressed city. It wasn't going to end well for his family and himself.
Can Lestrum succeed at the impossible task and reunite with his family?
