Worlds of Magic

An anthology of magical short stories.

This anthology contains the stories:

Seafarer (How did the princess fall in love with the pirate queen?)

Lucy and the Magician (A young girl is being given the gift of friendship)

Catching Fireflies (A young kelpie has to convince his prey to join him in the depths of the lake. At the bottom, the prey's dangerous task will be revealed)

The Hungry Worlds (A thief steals a sword, but in exchange, she tries to save the village she stole it from from a danger that encompasses more than one world)

Into the Still Places (Two races who've been at war for aeons. A rogue soldier. Two princes intent on saving their worlds. They will have to work together to save their citizens)

The Path of Lost Souls (In a world far from our own, one becomes an adult by completing the Path of Lost Souls. It's one young man's turn to prove himself, even though his half-brother will sabotage his journey)

More than half of Worlds of Magic's stories happen off-world, in worlds that aren't our own. Lucy and the Magician and Catching Fireflies alone are set in the real world, although it has been enhanced with magic. Worlds of Magic provide good bedtime stories and exciting stories of adventure and strange worlds.

Elegy of the Stars

On the planet of Glast Oria's only missive is survival, against the cold, the hunger, the Priests of the Seirios, the Administration of the planet, but when Quinn, another urchin, saves her life from the Administration and lets her stay in his hideout, her allegiance to only herself begins to change.

Over time, a reluctant trust between them forms, and Quinn proposes a heist to steal food from the local cult.

Their plan turns to action in early winter, and at first seems like a success, but once inside the Chantry, the Seirios Cult's headquarters, everything goes terribly wrong, and both of them might not survive to see the planet's spring.

Warlike: The Torn Earth

A jungle adventure set on Earth in the year 2250. A torn Earth where people live in small tribes like they did before we evolved. An Earth poisoned by radiation, toxins, and experiments.

In the far future on Earth, the names of most cities have been forgotten, and wastelands have taken their places. The jungle-forest, a place of primeval predators and a barely surviving half-human tribe, the desert, sands in every direction the eye can see, and mountain ridges too tall too climb that hold ancient secrets. Thresha's lived in the jungle-forest all her seventeen cycles, a young woman too stubborn to admit defeat when the tribe's strongest war party is slaughtered by the raptors, ancient reptilian giants that were supposed to have been extinct thousands of years ago. Thresha is convinced she can kill the beasts and free her tribe once and for all, but she needs to throw her spears wider than elder Kava allows to do it. Thresha soon finds herself trapped in an ancient maze, in a world before a time anyone of her tribe can remember, faced with monsters she couldn't have imagined and, when she is discovered, exile. But for Thresha, the only way out is forward, and to the east, the Sands and the weapons they hold beckon. The Sands, the end of the world, which no one has ever returned from, and no one believes there is an end to.

It's only when she meets Zon, an almost-outlaw, and his shooting tubes, that her hopes of destroying the raptors earns a chance to succeed. But Zon has problems of his own, a horde of metal men so different from anything Tresha has ever known, and those will have to be dealt with before the raptors can be destroyed once and for all.
