Legends II: Dragon, Sword, and King by Robert Silverberg, Terry Brooks, George R.R. Martin, Diana Gabaldon, Orson Scott Card, Elizabeth Haydon
Here is the second of two volumes featuring the best in modern fantasy. These masterly short novels are both mesmerizing stand-alones and indispensable additions to the epics on which they are based.

TERRY BROOKS adds an exciting epilogue to The Wishsong of Shannara in "Indomitable," the tale of Jair Ohmsford's desperate quest to complete the destruction of the evil Ildatch . . . armed with only the magic of illusion.

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN continues the adventures of Dunk, a young knight, and his unusual squire, Egg, in "The Sworn Sword," set a generation before the events in A Song of Ice and Fire.

DIANA GABALDON turns to an important character from her Outlander saga—Lord John Grey—in "Lord John and the Succubus," a supernatural thriller set in the early days of the Seven Years War.

ORSON SCOTT CARD tells a tale of Alvin Maker and the Mighty Mississippi, featuring a couple of ne'er-do-wells named Jim Bowie and Abe Lincoln, in "The Yazoo Queen."

ELIZABETH HAYDON tells of the destruction of Serendair and the fate of its last defenders in "Threshold," set at the end of the Third Age of her Symphony of Ages series.
