Strong heroines and riveting storytelling are the hallmark
of groundbreaking fantasy author Kate Elliott (Crown of
Stars, Crossroads). Elliott is a highly-compelling voice
in
genre fiction, an innovative author of historically-based
narratives set in imaginary worlds. This first,
retrospective collection of her short fiction is the
essential guide to Elliott’s shorter works. Here her bold
adventuresses, complex quests, noble sacrifices, and
hard-won victories shine in classic, compact legends.
In “The Memory of Peace,” a girl’s powerful emotions rouse
the magic of a city devastated by war. Meeting in “The
Queen’s Garden,” two princesses unite to protect their
kingdom from the blind ambition of their corrupted father.
While “Riding the Shore of the River of Death” a
chieftain’s
daughter finds an unlikely ally on her path to
self-determination.
Elliott’s many readers, as well as fantasy fans in search
of
powerful stories featuring well-drawn female characters,
will revel in this unique gathering of truly memorable
tales.
