Contained in this deceptively short volume are many, many little stories, largely in assorted scifi/fantasy/speculative fiction settings (and don't get us started on the Fairy Tales). They're often satirical, frequently sharp-edged, sometimes poison-tipped, and what's worse is, none of them show proper respect and reverence to Heroes, much less Goodness, Truth, and Light. This is clearly Very Bad, and you should stay far away from this book.

For Delae, a lonely landholder on the edge of the kingdoms, a frantic knock at the door on a stormy winter's night brings more than a cry for help. After centuries of war, elves have little contact with the race of men, but Dorovan can't bring himself to ride past those so obviously in need.

He suddenly finds that fragile truce threatened from without by an unknown enemy and from within by old hatreds and prejudice. Can he and his team uncover the threat, and can he convince the high king to act before it's too late? At what cost?
