The Antidote: A Sundering Novelette (The Sundering Trilogy)

Aurian and Jin Koch are trying very hard to be peaceful. They're doing a terrible job.

Owning a shiny new Inn in a placid Gold Road village might be Aurian's dream, but the world has other ideas. When Aurian and Jin Koch leave Morda Bonemaker's funeral procession to attempt a peaceful life, they underestimate how difficult their singular history of violence and mayhem will make getting along with the neighbors. Will their history follow them, even into retirement? For that matter--is Evinanjin Koch, veteran hero, capable of retirement?

A brief continuation of the Aurian and Jin storyline, complete with dammed rivers, motherly feelings, poison, and, of course, drunks. NOT Book II of The Sundering Trilogy--just a small gap-filling novelette.
