The Nine Lands

Set in the richly imagined Nine Lands, this collection of short stories features a young woman with an unreliable prophetic gift, a street musician on a quest for lost magic, and a king whose voice poses a threat to ordinary people. Each tale transports readers through diverse landscapes, including the spirit-haunted jungles of Nahele Peninsula and the cold archipelago of Kagesedo, showcasing a blend of fantasy, danger, and enchantment crafted by award-winning author Marie Brennan.
