The Sword of Destiny
Published Aug 2, 2019 · 10,471 words (39 minutes) · 2 likes · 256 views
“The Sword of Destiny” was written at the invitation of Gardner Dozois for his 2017 anthology, The Book of Swords.

I later wrote several more stories bringing him from childhood to maturity, all of which have run (or will run) in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
