Swords, Magic, and Heart — Dave Smeds

A hundred years ago, a prince was saved from assassins by an enchantment that cast him forward in time. But survival means little to him unless he can be reunited with his beloved, who legend says is waiting for him deep in the glades of the forest folk.The Eyeless enjoy nothing better than inflicting torment, and now they have taken a village lad. The young woman whose mistake caused him to be captured must attempt his rescue.To deal with a renegade, murderous ghost, a sorceress must summon an even more formidable spirit to hunt him down. If the scheme backfires, it will only make the crisis worse.These are only three of the scenarios that unfold within these pages. Read of a lover made of wind. Witness as a wraith is unleashed. Be introduced to a ferryman who escorts the condemned upon the River of Judgment. Here are a dozen chronicles of magic light and dark, of warriors who question their missions, of enchantresses attempting to change the skeins of fate.
