- [The Anguished Earth: an Empire of the Wolf Novella by Richard Swan](https://www.grimdarkmagazine.com/product/the-anguished-earth-an-empire-of-the-wolf-novella-by-richard-swan/): \<strong\>\<span class="a\-text\-bold"\>It is winter in the Empire of the Wolf, and the town of Eisbrück burns with plague\.\</span\>\</strong\>

Whilst physicians struggle to contain the pox, the atmosphere thickens with recrimination and rumour: talk of inauspicious constellations, and a demonic witch filling the streets with bodies and black magick\. Amongst the chaos, Sir Konrad Vonvalt must recover a dangerous fugitive—a child murderer who has escaped from Blackmarsh Insane Asylum\.

But with winter’s bite closing and plague spreading like wildfire, finding the killer may be the least of his problems…

- [Fortune's Wake by C\.L\. Clark](https://www.grimdarkmagazine.com/product/fortunes-wake-by-c-l-clark/): \<strong\>\<span class="a\-text\-bold"\>Kill the beast\.\</span\>\</strong\>
\<strong\>\<span class="a\-text\-bold"\>Earn some coin\.\</span\>\</strong\>
\<strong\>\<span class="a\-text\-bold"\>Get the girl\.\</span\>\</strong\>

Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go\. Kova of Stormwatch made a promise when she left her mother and sweetheart weeping on the shore back home: she’d earn her fortune slaying the beasts that haunt the woods and the horrors that lurk in the shadows, or she would die trying\. But to do that, she needs an apprenticeship with a master monster hunter\. The best of the best: Sayre Boarbane\.

Pity that Sayre works alone\.

When Sayre drags Kova home by the ear, they’re both in for a rude awakening\. Kova’s mother? Missing\. Kova’s lover? Taking long walks on the beach with a stranger\.

And all those monsters Kova wanted to slay? They’re back in Stormwatch, dragging villagers into the ocean\.
