Get ready for pulse-pounding action, mystery, drama and humor as our heroes plunge into eight new adventures, featuring short stories, novelettes, and a novella. Brave a strange new world to rescue a wayward scientist, explore a devastated planet with a young officer searching for her heritage, and risk everything to discover the hidden past that can reshape the future. Enlist the aid of a legendary hero to confront a Giant, save reality by entering the Dream and facing the Nightmare that lies within, and join three young Dwarves as they hunt for an ancient treasure. C. S. Marks lends her talents this year with Love at First Sight, a rousing tale of a ranger and his new companion, filled with derring-do-and a few bumps and bounces along the way. Our youngest author, Becca Lynn Rudder (age 15), surprises us-and herself-with her first novella: A Pixie Rescue, the exciting conclusion to First-Flight Plight. What began as a short story blossomed into a larger adventure, following Clirena and a ragtag group of Fairies as they enter the Black Forest to try to save young Princess Argessa from the clutches of the warped Fairy, Dwimera.
