"The first of two volumes of original short novels

by some of the greatest writers in fantasy fiction, including Neil Gaiman, Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams, Robin Hobb, Robert Silverberg, and Raymond E. Feist

Legends II picks up where its illustrious predecessor left off. All of the

bestselling writers represented in Legends II return to the special universe of the

imagination that its author has made famous throughout the world. Whether set before

or after events already recounted elsewhere, whether featuring beloved characters

or compelling new creations, these masterful short novels are both mesmerizing stand-alones-perfect

introductions to the work of their authors-and indispensable additions to the epics

on which they are based.

ROBIN HOBB returns to the Realm of the Elderlings with ""Homecoming,"" a

powerful tale in which exiles sent to colonize the Cursed Shores find themselves

sinking into an intoxicating but deadly dream . . . or is it a memory?

ROBERT SILVERBERG spins an enthralling tale of Majipoor's

early history-and remote future-as seen through the eyes of a dilettantish poet who

discovers an unexpected destiny in ""The Book of Changes.""

TAD WILLIAMS explores the

strange afterlife of Orlando Gardiner, from his Otherland saga, in ""The Happiest

Dead Boy in the World.""

ANNE McCAFFREY shines a light into the most mysterious and

wondrous of all places on Pern in the heartwarming ""Beyond Between.""

RAYMOND E. FEIST turns from the great battles of the Riftwar to the story of one soldier, a young

man about to embark on the ride of his life, in ""The Messenger.""

NEIL GAIMAN gives

us a glimpse into what befalls the man called Shadow after the events of his Hugo

Award-winning novel American Gods in ""The Monarch of the Glen."""
