The Emperor's Guard Kevin Hopson

The Emperor's Guard collects the first story arc of The Emperor's Guard Series, which consists of The Resurrected, Hunting Glory, and Traitor's Mark. The ResurrectedIt's been months since the attempted coup on the Emperor. As Commander of the Emperor's Guard, the events remain fresh in Asgall's mind. He and other faithful members of the Guard were victorious against the mutiny, but Asgall was forced to take lives, some of them close friends of his. Asgall hoped all of the defectors, also known as the Resurrected, had been chased from Southwallow, but when one of them attacks a civilian inside the city's walls, he realizes that the group isn't content living a secluded life. Instead, they're turning bolder, and they won't be satisfied until the Emperor has fallen. This story was written in 100-word passages in homage to Grant Faulkner, one of the modern-day masters of the 100-word story. Hunting GloryMurder, treason, and a masked man. It's another typical day in the city of Southwallow, at least for Asgall, Commander of the Emperor's Guard. A man referred to as Glory, a decorated soldier who is long retired, appears to be at the root of the problems, and he's not worried about letting it be known. In fact, he seems to covet the attention. But that mentality raises suspicion with Asgall. As he and other members of the Guard attempt to hunt down Glory, Asgall can't help but wonder one thing. Are they hunting a man? Or a ghost?Traitor's MarkAsgall, Commander of the Emperor's Guard, has faced everything from coups to curses. But when the newest member of the Guard, a woman named Caitlyn, learns that someone in Southwallow is looking to obtain a rare and extremely dangerous item on the black market, Asgall finds himself in the biggest battle yet. That's because this item possesses the power to take down the Emperor, the city of Southwallow, and maybe even the entire continent.
