The Twelfth Tablet

A Short Story

Description

Twelve golden tablets sit in museums around the world, each created by unknown hands and buried in ancient times, and each providing the dead with the route to the afterlife. Each has taken its own journey, and each has its own story to tell. This is one of those stories.

The Twelfth Tablet is a short story that includes a sneak peek of The Orpheus Descent by Tom Harper.
