Publisher's Synopsis
The Crimson Keep was created in 2011 when Crazy 8 Press made its public debut. "Demon Circle," the first tale of the Crimson Keep, was a round-robin story written to raise funds for a worthy cause . . . but the authors couldn't get these characters and this fantastical world out of their minds. Now, in celebration of its third anniversary, the authors of Crazy 8 Press-Russ Colchamiro, Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman, Robert Greenberger, Glenn Hauman, Paul Kupperberg, and Aaron Rosenberg-have gathered to craft all-new Tales of the Crimson Keep. This first-ever Crazy 8 Press anthology reintroduces you to teen apprentices Athis, Belid, and Klaria, and to their teacher, the powerful and enigmatic sorcerer known only as the Master. Within these pages you'll meet the Master's very first student . . . encounter some thieves who washed out of the apprentice program...learn the fate of the dread demon Koliander the Undying . . . follow two novices on their inaugural mission . . . watch as another learns a hard-won lesson . . . and see how the lives of the apprentices-and the power of the Crimson Keep-crop up in the most unexpected places. So step inside and join the team at Crazy 8 Press on a series of truly magical adventures within the Crimson Keep.
