معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
A shipwreck’s cargo shakes up a magical city in this shared-world fantasy anthology edited by the New York Times–bestselling author of Sanctuary.
“Editor Abbey . . . has gotten high-quality contributions from mostly well-known fantasy hands, and she interweaves them so deftly that the book reads like a novel.” —Booklist
Welcome back to Sanctuary, a den of thieves, swordsmen, sorcerers, fanatics, and gods. Her residents will do whatever it takes to survive . . .
Whether he likes it or not, Cauvin the surly stonemason leads a double life as advisor to the current ruler of Sanctuary. The memories of the late priest, Molin Torchholder, now inhabit Cauvin’s mind, giving him unparalleled expertise on most issues, but it’s his own memories that drive him to investigate the murder of a local merchant.
Meanwhile, a treacherous storm has left a shipwreck off Sanctuary’s shore. In a city of necromancers, assassins, urchins, knaves, and thugs, some are desperate to get their hands upon the bountiful cargo of exotic treasures and arcane secrets. But one man’s boon is often another man’s curse . . .
This shared-world anthology features stories by Lynn Abbey, Stephen Brust, C. J. Cherryh, Jeff Grubb, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Dennis McKiernan, Andrew Offutt, Robin Wayne Bailey, Diana Paxson, Jody Lynn Nye, Selina Rosen, and Jane Fancher.
“The grim city of Sanctuary and its often-grimmer inhabitants provide plenty of fantasy fun.” —Publishers Weekly
“The recurring characters here work a winning charm.” —Kirkus Reviews

نبذة عن المؤلف
Lynn Abbey, ex–New Yorker, ex-Michigander, and ex-Oklahoman, moved to Florida in 1997, which she says is nice, but she misses snow. Her first novel, Daughter of the Bright Moon, was published in 1978. Since then, she has published more than two dozen novels, most of them fantasies. She has been called the “Godmother of Shared Universes” for her part in creating, editing, and writing the Thieves’ World® series of anthologies, novels, and games. Abbey says she writes fantasies because when her imagination gets going, it is full of magic, intrigue, and the colors of a stained-glass window. If science fiction is the fiction of possible futures, then fantasy is the fiction of possible histories.
