Together again...

Award-winning fantasy authors Jeanine Berry, Sheri L. McGathy, Shannah Biondine, and Jeanne Allen reunite to bring you TWILIGHT CROSSINGS II, another extraordinary anthology born within the enchanted realms of twilight.

When Tanner is hired to find the mythical city of Sha-da-nay, little does she know that what she seeks is far different than what she'll find. For buried in the darkest depths of the Hagath Forest is a truth that can set her free, if only she is willing to truly see WHERE LIES BEAUTY.

The fate of all the Known Realms hangs in the balance when a great mage is assassinated and his Umbra Amulet stolen, leaving a world frozen in perpetual twilight. Zavend Preece has one clue-a firedrake scale found at the murder scene. Can he and the enigmatic Capt. Praxis track the killers and retrieve the enchanted amulet, or will they be forced evermore to MOURN A MOONREFT SKY?

In THE WELL OF FOREVER, enter an ancient world where desert winds part the sands to uncover a mesmerizing tale of magic and romance. In the wrong hands the wand of the legendary sorcerer Lohar could devastate the world, as it almost did once before. Caireya plans to destroy the wand before that can happen, but her plan may cost her life.

Cultures clash when Arvalian warriors invade the peaceful isle of Ignatia for its legendary treasures. In THE TREASURE OF ARVALIS, which will prevail, a determined warrior, a priestess striving for peace, or will a war among the gods force them toward a common destiny?

"Where Lies Beauty" by Sheri L. McGathy
Tanner and her brother, Conn, are Seekers. Seekers bring back things from the Old World, which once held pure magic. For over one hundred times their normal fee, they agree to take a man named Faylon and his deformed slave, Manny, on a quest for a lost magical city. The city is called Sha-da-nay, The City Of Light, and thought only to be a myth. The city is fabled to be full of gold and pure magic. But to reach the city they must pass several dangers. Once there, only a single tear, freely given, will reveal the truth.

"Mourn A Moonreft Sky" by Shannah Biondine
Parxis is no longer a slave. Slavery had been abolished five years before. Due to living mostly underground she has pure white eyes and is sensitive to sunlight. However, she has the ability to track dragons and wyverns across the sky. This is why Zavend, a scholar, asks for her help. Someone has stolen the Umbra Amulet. The wizard who wore it around his neck for eons has been slain, the amulet taken. Without this amulet, there would be "floods or drought, famine, seasons that do not molt" because it controls the very weather and planet alignment. If Praxis helps Zavend on his quest, she would be gifted with her own wyvern.

"The Well Of Forever" by Jeanine Berry
Caireya is a Seeress and has the scrying ability. Her sister is Eronne with the gift of healing. They are slaves to Lord Demor. Demor defies the laws and travels to Maricor, a lost city. Maricor is where the Cataclysm took place centuries ago, leaving the world in ruins. Using Caireya's magic, Demor plans to locate the wand of the legendary mage-king Lohar di Kaya. If he succeeds, the world will see another cataclysm!

"The Treasure Of Arvalis" by Jeanne Allen
The city of Ignatia worships Solone, Goddess of Earth and Sky, a loving and merciful deity. Eirena is the temple priestess. She receives Solone's messages for her people. For two months Solone did not speak. Eirena fears that her people has ignored the goddess, thus the goddess has turned her back on them. Then marauders attack the city. Their cruel gods promised gold and treasures within Solone's temple. But Ignatia is a city of knowledge. The only treasure are the scrolls within the temple library. Valgard, the leader of the warriors, claims Eirena as his own. If there is no gold, then his realm will have the people of Ignatia as slaves. However, Solone has other plans.

***** Four brilliant novellas that will tantalize your imagination to no end. Magic and romance combine to make this a book you won't soon forget. *****
