All too quickly, Keiri realizes that she’s in far over her head, dealing with the resurgence of sorceries lost for a thousand years. As she plumbs to the depths of a dungeon of horrors, Keiri realizes that she underestimated how deep depravity goes...
By the time she learns the truth, it may be far too late.

Handmaiden’s Fury
A Myriad of Worlds...
This tale regards the adventures of Keiri Sul-Rydia, a woman devoted to the goddess of unfettered passions. It is a story of a fantastical, magic rich world, with a dark and horrific history.
This story is a part of the overarching series of series, The Paean of Sundered Dreams, a multi-genre, universe-spanning array of tales with Lovecraftian themes. Some of the strands of this work are science fiction, some fantasy, and some steampunk, but they share the same horrific universe. They weft and weave together, leaving breadcrumbs of clues for the next story.
Each tale echoes a beating heart of darkness, cackling quietly in the shadows of existence.
If you are the kind of reader who cannot rest until every secret is found, for whom genre is unimportant, and who will travel a wide and vast multiverse to learn things man was not meant to know…
Welcome, wayward wanderer.
This was written for you.

About the Author
JM Guillen was a normal, mild mannered Midwesterner until he achieved his lifelong dream of being a full-time writer in the summer of 2011. When one of his stories, The Herald of Autumn, was nominated for a Nebula Award, it was the final straw for his mundanity.
He immediately went mad with a miniscule, insignificant amount of power.
Soon he was declaring himself to be “exempt from the laws of men, regarding pants,” and conducting mad experiments regarding human tolerance for rum. In between attempts at taking over Strafford, Missouri, he also dabbles in weird fiction. Besides science fiction, fantasy, and horror, he is best known for implementing schemes, plots, and ploys.
Today, the self-described supervillain spends his days scribing The Paean of Sundered Dreams, a cycle of series that all blend and interweave. This is his greatest scheme yet, as discovering the myriad connections between these worlds tend to drive his readers mad.
This is a work of wonderful fiction. All the characters and events portrayed in this book are fictional, and any resemblance to real people or incidents is purely coincidental.
Except when not.
