ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Christian W. Freed was born in Buffalo, N.Y. more years ago than he would like to remember. After spending more than 20 years in the active-duty US Army he has turned his talents to writing. Since retiring, he has gone on to publish over 30 military fantasy and science fiction novels, as well as his memoirs from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan, a children's book, and a pair of how to books focused on indie authors and the decision-making process for writing a book and what happens after it is published. His first published book (Hammers in the Wind) has been the #1 free book on Kindle 4 times and he holds a fancy certificate from the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. Ok, so it was for 4th place in one quarter, but it's still recognition from the largest fiction writing contest in the world. And no, he's not a scientologist. Passionate about history, he combines his knowledge of the past with modern military tactics to create an engaging, quasi-realistic world for the readers. He graduated from Campbell University with a degree in history and a Masters of Arts degree in Digital Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He currently lives outside of Raleigh, N.C. and devotes his time to writing, his family, and their two Bernese Mountain Dogs. If you drive by you might just find him on the porch with a cigar in one hand and a pen in the other.

The Purifying Flame: A War Priests of Andrak Saga Short

Honorable Mention winner of the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. The Burning Season has once again fallen upon the land. One hundred knights from across the duchies have come to Castle Andrak to defend reality from the ethereal forces of the Omegri; hated enemies of the light. They must stand the walls for 100 days. Those who survive will be changed forever. The War Priests have defended the Purifying Flame since the dawn of time. It is the source of all life in the Free Lands. Should they fail in their charge, the world will plunge into darkness. Mystic warriors, the War Priests strength wanes. Evil grows. It is a time of change. In servitude to one of the noble knights, young Donal Sawq enters the mythic Castle Andrak with a sense of awe. All his life he has been marveled by stories of the fabled War Priests. Reality is far different from his romantic expectations. Donal will confront horrors unimagined as he struggles to fill a role that was never meant for him. Life hangs in the balance and it will take every ounce of strength and conviction if he is going to survive the Burning Season. Enter a fantasy world unlike any other as the War Priests fight for humanity and the very soul of the world.
