Game of Crones: Tales of Witchcraft and Wickedness
Welcome to a world of cruelty, hexes and treachery, where malicious magic rules and you are but a single necromancer’s spell away from eternal terror.

- · An impoverished French noblewoman who’ll stop at nothing to marry her daughter to a wealthy prince - even if it means dabbling with a dangerous love potion.
- · The hated public executioner Pandora whose fabled box has already killed 55 men - without leaving a trace of violence on their bodies.
- · Wily witch Merta who uses all her wits and trickery to turn the tables on the corrupt Mayor who wants her burnt alive at the stake.
- · A faery mage without conscience or pity with the perfect plan to make Mankind turn on itself - and all it takes is one innocent baby.
- · A drought-stricken frontier town that seeks magical help from the local Indian tribe to make it rain, but learns it comes at a terrible cost.
- · The doubt-ridden King, plagued by nightmares of his death, who consults an enchantress to learn the most of hidden of secrets: just when the Grim Reaper will claim him.

****REVIEW****
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was very kindly offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I have given Game of Chrones 5 grizzly stars!!!
I was a little bit dubious as to whether or not I would enjoy this collection of short tales as I find short stories sometimes don't have the same effect but Jay Raven proves with Game of Chrones that you don't need a full length novel to pack a punch.
Each story has a different subject and weaves it's own twists and turn and the end of each story is guaranteed to leave the reader speechless. I honestly could not get enough!!
Jay Raven is a unique storyteller with an amazing talent that draws you into his fun, macabre stories.
Jay Raven is the author of Gothic chillers and historical horror reminding readers that the past is a dangerous place to venture, full of monsters and murderous men. He blames his fascination with vampires, witches and werewolves on the Hammer Horror films he watched as a teenager, but living in a creepy old house on the edge of a 500-acre wood may have something to do with it.
