Using Mercedes Lackey's series of Elven Urban Fantasy as a springboard this is a series of stories by several authors using this as a springboard. It's a mixed bag of stories many of them quite interesting. A fan of her series would love it, others might like it as an idea of what her world is lik...

With a couple of Doctoral & Masters Degrees under her belt – in something or other historical – Ms. Gellis writes what she knows. This, the forth book in this captivatin...
