Curator's Note
Lisa Silverthorne’s fiction manages to combine incredible world-building with great characters. And she always settles on a point of view I’ve never seen before. I open Lisa Silverthorne stories anticipating a good read and I’m never disappointed. This book’s also exclusive to the bundle, and I hope it leads you to the rest of her magical fiction. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
