— CHARACTER NAME, SHORT STORY NAME
Tales of the Sun Eater, Volume 3 is the third collection of short stories in the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio. First published exclusively in Ebook format on September 15, 2023, the collection follows characters, both novel and familiar, in events that are preceded by Ashes of Man and succeeded by Disquiet Gods.
Because Traditional publishing generally will not publish small volumes of shorts stories, the Tales of the Sun Eater collections will continue to be released exclusively in Ebook format. However, Highmatter Books has plans to release a printed master collection for fans who want a physical copy of the short stories. No date has been given.

Synopsis
Seven more stories from the universe of the Sun Eater written by internationally award-winning author Christopher Ruocchio and collected here for the very first time.
At the Battle of Akterumu, a captain makes her valiant last stand against a vicious inhuman horde. On the pirate planet of Vorgossos, a machine rebels against her creator. On the alien battleship Echidna, an ordinary man comes face to face with a demon in all but name. And on idyllic Jadd, an apprentice to the Swordmasters of the Fire School takes her first steps out from beneath her father's legendary shadow.
Here are further tales of the Sollan Empire and of the barbarians who dwell between its stars. Here are tales of strange, far worlds. Tales of battle, of desperation, and holy law. And here, too, are tales of a man who will change the fate and future of the galaxy as a whole. Tales of the Sun Eater, of Hadrian Marlowe himself.
