He is the Principal

He is the Principal

A recruitment drive, an underground fight club, and an Empress unleashed.

Kirian is still the only student at the Institute. Baba Yaga orders Lerr’ek to change that—yesterday.

Lerr’ek has no clue how to find others worthy of the opportunity the Institute offers. Luckily for him, Kirian has a suggestion and Operation First Class commences.

What can he do when his offer is rejected?

Lerr’ek isn’t the type to give up at the first obstacle. He digs deeper into the circumstances that brought about the founding of the Institute to locate other potential recruits.

What he discovers causes Baba Yaga to rain vengeance on High Tortuga’s underground.

As above, so below. The changes Stephen is working for on the surface of the city are mirrored in the undercity as Baba Yaga dismantles the culture of violence festering at the heart of Shrillexian society by force.

Kirian comes face to face with his demons when new recruits are identified in the wake of the upheaval wreaked by the Witch.

Can the past be forgiven for the sake of the future? Or will Baba Yaga’s solution tear apart more than the fabric of society?

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!
