Old magic. New stories. Lose yourself in a collection of well-woven fantasy tales, filled to the brim with imagination and adventure. Shadowy creatures at the edge of town. Looming dragons and crafty elves. The sounds you can't explain from the garden and the monsters living next door. The Lost Legends contains thirteen new stories from best-selling and award-winning authors who have let their imaginations run wild through each page. Idna's Journals - When a mad woman is laid to rest, her dark grimoires taunt the survivors. The Luck Stone - Exiled to the edges of civilization and searching for a murdered man's missing stone, an elven bounty hunter finds more than she'd bargained for. The Problem with Elves - Looking for a way to help his ailing grandmother, a young man discovers the remarkable potency of a magic bean--and learns that magic tends to attract unwanted attention. Lila - Dragons visit a cozy, quiet town, raising questions and upheaving lives, and at the heart of the mystery stands a woman and her courageous dog. Death of a Young Mage - Kidnapped from his family and taken from his gods, a young elven boy struggles to hold on to his identity while being forced through a strange land. The Sacred Coal of Zattfu Mountain - Shrouded in curse and chaos, a lonely wanderer's only hope lies in a desperate and frightening journey, and with each step he learns he carries more than his own fate. Sonata for Snails - Grieving for his lost wife, an unassuming farmer finds peace from an unexpected place--along with a helping of trouble. The Vampire - A young girl's new best friend is a dark dream come true, but as the truth about him comes to light, her life becomes a nightmare. An Inconsequential Miscalculation - A cursed town desperately searches for a way to stop a poorly-informed cult of mystical fanatics. Thundermoon Bride - Guided by a Goddess, a queen flees her tower prison, haunted by her pursuing captors and a lover's promise. Tavernfall - A fascinating (and possibly true) account from a scrupulous historian on the trail of forgotten magic, all in a desperate effort to save the world (which may, or may not, actually be necessary). The Door - After a long life, the king is ready to enjoy the relaxing afterlife he'd earned--assuming he can handle whatever lurks behind a mysterious door between two worlds. The Candlemaker - Inspired by the folk song "Gallows Pole," The Candlemaker is the story of a town besieged by violence, but someone in this town has been keeping a dangerous secret. There's something here for every lover of fantasy. So brew a cup of coffee, and ecape into your own copy of The Lost Legends.
