Sword and Sorceress XVI

FOR HONOR AND VALOR

When a young woman gravely injures a powerful creature out of legend, can she find the courage to return to her victim and face redemption of death?

Can an itinerant witch restore the power of a dying god?

Will a woman's vow to become the best sword-smith in her land sever her from the person she loves most?

Can the bravery of a low-born lass chosen as a sacrifice to a terrible beast finally free her kingdom from tyranny?

With an ancient spell prove to a budding sorceress that magic is overrated?

Join Diana Paxson, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Deborah Wheeler, and Dorothy J. Heydt, and their fellow adventurers through perilous lands where women — whether they be powerful magicians, or sword fighters sworn to protect — take up challenges so often considered the sole province of men, in twenty-six original stories collected and edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

The sixteenth volume of "Sword & Sorceress" includes 25 all-original stories of strong, heroic women characters — female warriors and wizards who face down perils and come to the aid of those in need. Includes the fantasy fiction of Diana Paxson, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Deborah Wheeler, and Dorothy J. Heydt, as well as an introduction by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
