Sword and Sorceress XVI — Marion Zimmer Bradley

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 or 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 lowborn lass chosen as a sacrifice to a terrible beast finally free her kingdom from tyranny?

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

Join Diana L. Paxson, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Deborah Wheeler, 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.
