"A Monk's Tale"

Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Cedric is a respected monk at the Ridderzaal monastery. But before he became a man of the cloth, he traveled the land, fighting trolls alongside dwarves and giants, living among the fearsome Krigares, and studying with elves, wizards and Shenn Frith shamans. This novelette provides a back story for one of your favorite characters from The Crafter Chronicles. It is a great standalone read as an introduction to the world of Matthew B. Berg, or as a companion piece to his trilogy begun with The Crafter's Son. (There are no spoilers in here if you haven't yet begun the series!) The story is about 12,000 words (roughly 1/8th the length of the first novel) and is framed around Cedric taking a nostalgic look back through his personal journals. Unlike the slower unfolding of The Crafter's Son—which serves as essentially “Act One” of a trilogy—this book gets right to the action! Fans of David Eddings, Raymond Feist, Terry Brooks, and Robert Jordan can expect to love A Monk’s Tale!
