Seven short stories that will take you to different cultures, times and places - from an ancient kingdom to an impossible mystery, from distractions in Venice to the mind of a psychopath, and the imaginings and needs of people seeking change. Serious tales as well as humour, from a psychopath on a mission, to the unsolvable mysteries of a parallel world, from a ruthless king who imagined himself to be immortal to one woman’s dash for freedom and another’s gentle act of revenge. Seven short stories to intrigue and entertain.
