Product Description
by Dave Smeds (Author)
A new full-length collection of fantasy by Dave Smeds, author of The Sorcery Within and The Schemes of Dragons.
A lover spun from moonlight. A wife banished for carrying the child of a demon in her womb. A queen, beheaded years ago, whose sage counsel may yet save the realm. Here are tales of swords, of magic, of romance. And of the struggle to be splendid of heart, whether the opponent lies within or without.
