On an island village condemned to the Stone Age by forces millennia more advanced, a clever fool teaches himself to read. On the eve of the fool's execution, an apocalyptic storm passes less than a mile from the island's idyllic, tortured shores, unnoticed by all but his children. It is violent, it is otherworldly, and then it is gone. But it has left something of itself behind. This is a three chapter sample. Swords of the Obsidian Sea is available in full in paperback and ebook formats: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0DG9B1CRD
