Balefire: A Dark Fantasy Novella by Glynn Stewart

A NEW SHORT DARK FANTASY NOVELLA

A demon born of human evil
A knight forged in holy fire
A town that he must either save…or destroy!

Alsan is a Paladin of the Intercessor, a holy warrior called to the village of Redgarton to investigate a demonic plague. Powerful magic of his fellow priests has sealed the village against the demon’s escape, and still more powerful magic awaits only his command to destroy demon and village alike.

To save the innocent, the knight must enter the village alone and learn what has unleashed the Abyss amongst them. If he can strike down the demon, his holy oath is sufficient to spare the town the balefire.

But the plague is spreading and the order he leaves behind is simple: come dawn, unleash the balefire.
