Tales of Santerra

To new visitors, who were likely just jump-scared by an unfamiliar world map:

What is Santerra, and why are you here?

Santerra is the setting for the novel Sadfire, and other related short stories that take place there. The goal of 'Tales' is simple: this is a place for Nate to share his unpublished work for free with readers who want more stories from the world of Sadfire. This page is an ongoing portfolio that will be updated with new works whenever they are penned, edited, and fit for human consumption.
