Bloodaxe
by James Tallett
Bloodaxe thought he was in for a nice relax. He was, after all, dead.And then some jumped up prick of a god told him he had to rescue a kingdom. His own kingdom, in fact. So Bloodaxe grabbed his, well, axe, and leapt back into the fray.First, though, he had to be born. And learn not to crap his pants. Then he could get to the killing. Lots and lots of killing.This is his story."Bloodaxe" is a fourteen-thousand word short by James Tallett, author of "Tarranau" and the epic fantasy best-seller "Breaking an Empire."
