[Sword and Sorceress 06] • Sword and sorceress VI

FROM A ROYAL CITADEL...TO DEATH'S ENCHANTED REALM...

They rove the magic lands, defending those who cannot defend themselves, fighting against the forces of evil which, again and again, threaten to overwhelm the strongholds of light.

They are swords-women and sorceresses, were-women and wise women, and they will take on all challengers, working their spells and wielding their swords against masters of mayhem and chaos.

So rally to the banners of such seasoned campaigners as Jennifer Roberson, Mercedes Lackey, Diana Paxson, Elisabeth Waters, and their fellow strategists as they lead their troops to victory in the fantasy wars!

Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress series has always featured the best in contemporary women's fantasy, and this outstanding new volume carries on the tradition! These original stories of brave, talented, and heroic women will take readers through enchanted realms of the imagination into danger both physical and mystical, where the only way to survive is through the power of sword and spell.
