Kit, at the tender age of 11, leaves her home to join the Temple of the Fist, a group of austere warrior-priests dedicated to delivering justice and retribution to the kingdom of Arnnor. After five cycles as an acolyte, during what should have been a simple protection mission, Kit uncovers a sinister plot to eradicate the wolves across the kingdom. But why? With the help of her new friends, a young tracker named Indie and a dire wolf named Runt, can the young priest follow the trail to its grizzly conclusion?

Kit, a girl of only 15, who had only recently achieved the position of Priest, is sent to a nearby village to investigate a series of unexplained deaths of human children. In doing so, she discovers something much deeper than just unrest; powerful people seek to remove all humans from the northern kingdoms, for the supposed crimes they are committing against the Berrat. As a reward for her recent successes, an elderly priest gifts Kit a sentient dragon-bone cane and information on the location of an ancient library.

Stacy Dee Haverly, nicknamed Dagmar, is navigating an even greater grief than the sudden loss of her father. This time, it is the inevitable loss of her mother. Her grief affects her and her estranged grandmother Helena deeply, but Dagmar has four friends she grew up with who have been there for her far more than her distant grandmother. We follow Dagmar in her grief before returning to an earlier time, when Dagmar, Adrian, Iona, Sam, and Rodney all went to school together and grew up as friends.

Kit's progress in taking down the massive slave trade that threatens her kingdom takes a turn for the worse. Enemies seem to be around every turn, each with their own motives and desire to remove Kit from their path. Her success will depend largely on her friends, but accepting their aid may result in a death sentence for all of them.

Who'd have thought a young priest, a believer in truth, justice, and retribution, would climb the ranks of Berrathia’s most deadly slaver organization? If you want to destroy something bigger than yourself, sometimes the best approach is to do it from the inside. How Kit can infiltrate the organization, without getting herself or her friends killed—that's the challenge.

Kit’s 16th birthday went from bad to worse when she got dragged off to investigate rumours of spider god worshippers infesting a nearby village.

The Short(Cuts) is a collection of seven unique and individual stories that range across all different genres. Sometimes humorous and other times sad, the collection represents some of the smaller works that Matthew Fish has written in the past 18 years. They range in length from 1,000-word shorts to 30,000-word pieces that have been dated to show a progress and change in both narrative style and tone.

The Veil is failing. Tens of thousands of soldiers muster, threatening to overrun the free cities. Blood thirsty slavers, demons, and gods are bent on world domination while the dragons seek to set the world ablaze. Kit, along with her family, friends, and allies are all that stands between survival and Ragnarök, the end of days. Failure might not be an option, but success is practically an impossibility.
