All Good Things... — James Tallett

All around them was a world broken by the power of magic and torn by the cruelty of humans. Shattered a mere century before, vast tracts of land are uninhabitable, and repression is the order of the day. And yet a few noble people struggle for a better life.

Aislin was born a princess, brought up healthy and safe by a doting father. Banished for her support of mechanical research, she finds herself beset by bandits and knights alike.

Once Hardin was a mage, a powerful leader who drove men before him with the scourge of his skill. Now he cowers in the ruins of his home, only his children for comfort.

This is their story.

Splintered Lands: All Good Things is a 19,000 word short story collection by Lisa M. Gott, Walter Shuler, and James Tallett, and is the second volume of the Splintered Lands.
