William Jones: Official Site

William’s story, “The Treacherry of Stone” appears in the upcoming epic fantasy anthology Blood and Devotion, edited by W. E. Horner.

The clash of steel. The scent of blood. The heat of fire from heaven. The cries of the dying and of the dead.

Brave warriors and devotees to the gods follow the paths their faiths have put before them, and when religious fervor meets skill of arms and magic, kings will fall, armies will collide, and men and women will perish for their beliefs.

Blood and Devotion contains nine short stories and novellas of epic fantasy, accompanied by art by Nicole Cardiff.
