Continuing the weekday story giveaway, today’s free Kindle short story is “Like Diamond Tears from Emerald Eyes.”

Jerton and his half-brother Larindo are a swordsman and a wizard for hire. When a mysterious veiled bride comes to town and offers them a fortune in diamonds to steal a box from a dead wizard’s castle, Larindo insists that they take the job, against Jerton’s better judgment.

The story is available free from Amazon’s Kindle store until about midnight Pacific Time tonight, but you don’t need a Kindle to read it. You can use the free Kindle app on your computer or smartphone.
