Eagle and Hare
"Midnight darkness shrouded the landscape. Crouched in a dense thicket atop a low knoll, Koholt could survey its little forests and glades unseen. Nothing seemed to stir. Yet Koholt knew that out there in the night, beyond the fog, hunters were approaching."
The 11 000 word novella EAGLE AND HARE is the fourth book of the Koholt Chronicles, which tell the tale of how the battered mercenary Koholt’s discoveries in the mines of Tvinde town puts him on a collision course with the power politics of the world of All – and with his own past.

Watch out when using the Amazon before you go function at the end of Kindle books to write a review. I just lost my entire review by merely touching the screen after I marked the number of stars. A hasty rewrite of the review follows:
This fourth installment of the Koholt Chronicles uses flashbacks to help tell the story. The Kindle edition which I read had nothing to separate the flashbacks from the current action, not even paragraphs. It was a little disconcerting the first time I encountered it. My momentary confusion was probably greater than it should have been as I was reading in a very loud and distracting environment. As usual, Mr. Erebus' writing and storytelling skills are excellent. Just watch out for those flashbacks.
I would compare the Koholt Chronicles to the old movie serials but the volumes I have read do not end in cliffhangers. Each volume completes a storyline but clearly ends with more to come. The Chronicles fall into the sword and sorcery genre but the magic is of a kind which I have not previously encountered. Who would have thought that grammarians could be so dangerous?
These are long short stories rather than novels. This one runs to about 11,000 words and 36 pages. At this time Amazon offers them for 99¢ each. They are also available through Kindle Unlimited. I recommend reading the stories in order.

Koholt is being hunted while he tries to find the teacher of Grammarian Vriddhir Adaic. The plot of this story is the first one that didn’t hold any surprises for me, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t exciting or that I didn’t enjoy the journey. Koholt is getting deeper and deeper into problems he doesn’t want to be involved in and the next story promises to be a great one. My only concern is that’s it’s been a year and a half since Eagle and Hare was published. I hope Erebus hurries up and finishes the next installment.
