A Yours, Mine and Ours collection of short stories from Liaden Universe® authors Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.
In Steve Miller's "And Hawks for Heralds," we meet Rove Captain Slate, who doesn't believe in magic, and who only wants to cross a bridge and settle his men for the night. Unfortunately, the Bispham is on duty, and he's taken exception to the Rove Captain and his men.
"Master of the Winds," by Sharon Lee follows two hopeful young people during their test to become the Kitemaster's apprentice. Only one can succeed.
Lee and Miller join forces in "Candlelight," the story of a family-by-intent, and the craft that holds them together.
Baltimore-born Jen Pierce is starting to settle into her new job as a reporter at the Wimsy Voice, and her new life in small-town Wimsy, Maine. The town's busy enough to keep a reporter hopping, though violence is usually on the level of one neighbor punching another in the nose after they've both had too much beer. Then, in very short order, a handsome stranger moves to town, and a local preacher is murdered at the barn-raising for a newly settled Wiccan couple. Jen's bucolic life is about to get interesting.
