In the debut issue of Child of Words, the magazine of science fiction and fantasy, you’ll meet a freed slave who returns to his tribe too late to marry his beloved and young urbanites who lease out their brain capacity to corporate masters. You’ll travel with a man with a sapling for a sibling and assassins killing time. You’ll mourn with parents missing a son and cheer a man who finds family in an unlikely place. You’ll be touched by a woman who feels the past, duck bombs with an executive with a need for speed, and root for an unlikely warrior who saves the damn day.
