In March 1987, a young author from Oklahoma published her first novel, "Arrows of the Queen." This modest book about a magical land called Valdemar was the beginning of a fantasy masterwork series that would span decades and include more than two dozen titles. Now readers can take a journey to the world of Valdemar-including Tanya Huff, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Fiona Patton, and Judith Tarr-each adding their own special touches.
my review
This is the 6th anthology of short stories set within the greater Valdemar world. Several of the stories continue the mini-series of characters found in other stories within the anthology collection, while others are standalones. They are a wonderful addition to the series and the world.
