Well, it's almost here - Unbroken launches in 2 days!

Hey all, Robin here.  Well this project has been delayed a few times, but we are now just days away from launching the Unbroken Kickstarter - an anthology like no other.  Well, that's not quite true, it's actually a lot like Unfettered, which was an anthology launched to help Shawn Speakman get out of medical debt.  This time the worthy cause is for author Peter Orullian who has amassed a huge financial burden due to both him and his wife being inflicted with cancer. But while UnFettered (Shawn's anthology) was amazing, Unbroken raises the bar even higher. I've never seen an anthology of this scope before. 

  • 832 fantasy filled pages
  • 275,000 words
  • 36 masters of fantasy
  • 21 New York Times best selling authors (7 of which have hit #1)
  • 4 artistic geniuses
  • 1 award-winning narrator

Peter is an American fantasy author, writer, and music industry veteran best known for his epic fantasy series The Vault of Heaven. His debut novel, The Unremembered (2011), was awarded the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel. It introduced readers to a richly built world where music and magic are deeply intertwined, a theme that reflects Peter's own background in music. To that end, he has a new series coming out (Songs of the Dead) that has been co-written with none other than Brandon Sanderson!

The lineup of authors for this anthology is nothing short of amazing - take a look!



As for Michael's short story, it is called: The Eternal Winter - and here is the teaser description for it:
It all started with a “new thing” called war that heralded the death of thousands. Famine and disease followed. Then the world of Elan was lost to an eternal winter, a dark and bitter cold that lasted years. Those struggling to survive walked upon the face of what they considered to be a corpse. But for the one known as Muriel, the worst thing to happen was learning that the white wolf had found her. 
While this story can be read without any prior knowledge of my other works, it is first
and foremost a foundational tale for those eagerly awaiting The Cycle series.

But it's not just these amazing authors who have donated their time and effort to make this project so great. Check out these amazing collaborators who have lent their skills to produce this amazing work:

  • Artist: Donato Giancola
