Sixth in the magical, action-packed shared-world series: 'Thieves' World® has grown into a real presence in the fantasy genre' (Fantasy-Faction).

 


Under the rule of a humanoid race, the city of Sanctuary finds itself divided. Rebels and assassins stalk the shadows, bringing chaos to the streets—which is nothing new to the lawless locals. But even they will have to put aside their differences to unite against their common enemy. An accomplishment easier said than done in a city where everyone is out for themselves . . .


Stories by Chris and Janet Morris, Robin W. Bailey, Diana L. Paxson, Diane Duane, C. J. Cherryh, Andrew J. Offutt, Lynn Abbey, and Robert Lynn Asprin add to the legend and lore of this 'surprisingly rich and deep world' (Book Riot).


'In the sixth book of the collection, the friction between the residents of Sanctuary and the invading Beysib heats up and makes for some exciting reading . . . Offutt's character Shadowspawn gets some good coverage, and a few fresh new characters also get some play . . .' —Fantasy-Faction


''The Hand That Feeds You' [by Diane Duane] is one of the best stories in the entire collection to date.' —brianbookreviews.blogspot.com
