Take a journey into darker realms with the latest volume of Fiction River Presents. Starting with a one mage's difficult choice, this volume transports readers to dark magical worlds-sometimes eerily similar to our own and sometimes incredibly foreign. Including the prequels to two groundbreaking series, the Runelords and the Fey, this volume proves why Adventures Fantastic says the Fiction River series "is one of the best and most exciting publications in the field today."
