Travel with a young magician going home again, to a village she outgrew long ago, and find out what really happened when Lady Barb first met Void, over a decade before Emily’s arrival in the Nameless World. Learn the wonder of magic, and the price of mastery … (NOTE: The Cunning Man’s Tale, The Muckraker’s Tale, and Frieda’s Tale have all been previously published; Cat’s Tale and Lady Barb’s Tale are exclusive to this volume.)
