I keep thinking about this. Like.. you have a bunch of writers going to a writing convention and so you pick *the revolting Nazi* to cover the event? You couldn't have fucking emailed *any other writer* in attendance for 600 words?

My friend @magicrobotcarnival.com wrote an epic fantasy book and it's a good one. They wrote it so hard that their publisher gave them a trilogy's worth of space for its story. Buy and then read it. A spoiler-free review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... darkmattermagazine.shop/products/the...

darkmattermagazine.shopThe Heresy of Thieves (Spellfall Book 1)From debut novelist Mia V. Moss comes a dark epic fantasy of shattered magic, female rage, and ancient family intrigues, perfect for fans of M.A. Carrick and Hannah Kaner. Vael stole magic from the gods for Her people and put an end to centuries of unrest. Now magic is gone, and the battle for the Witchlands's soul begins. After a millennium of prosperity and magic, one catastrophic night undoes the realm of Yvaelen. Magic has fallen, and prayers to Vael the Giver go unanswered. Jal Riago knows when it's time to move on from a con. She can't maintain her false refugee heiress story forever, and her benefactors grow weary of playing host. Just when she's about to confess and cut ties, a deadly raid sets Jal's life on a collision course with a powerful entity reckoning with its own madness. The young, steadfast King Thealys Vorrine inherited the throne of Dynestra after her parents' deaths at Spellfall. But sparks of unrest flare all too quickly into the unpredictable wildfire of rebellion, and King Vorrine must forge headlong into unknown territory. Royal knight and notorious rake Ember Carrado is trying his best to get fired. Instead, when he's paired with a judgmental paladin and sent on a mission to hunt down a rampaging mythical beast, he finds himself face-to-face with the past he's been running from since Spellfall. Beacon Wylda Lorcanthas wields a sharp tongue and the second-highest office in the Church of Vael. When the head of the Faith dies, Wylda must seek out a biddable successor. Unfortunately, the clergy's clear favorite is a charismatic priest who promises the restoration of magic-for those willing to partake of a bloody cost. The dark betrayal behind Spellfall, and the very fabric of Yvaelen's faith, will be hidden no longer. What began with a thief's touch will end with a reckoning. And salvation for some may be a waking nightmare for others.
