<p>Across the realms, a plethora of stories abound. From times most ancient, to the future far flung. From places known to all, to those obscured by both distance and mystery. Some are akin to the most epic of sagas, spanning worlds and stretching across generations. Others are short, albeit no less important, mere blips in the annuls of history.</p><p> </p><p><em>Tales from Across the Realms</em> is a collection of four short stories that expand upon the universe first created in <em>M. J. Coad's</em> debut novel: <em>Heroes of Thered's Field</em>. The tales held within are each a standalone story, enjoyable on their own and by no means required reading for <em>M. J. Coad's</em> other works.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Warning</strong>: This material contains instances of graphic violence, vulgar language, explicit sexual content, and other such profanities. It is intended for mature audiences.</p>
