Uneven pleasure in the stories in this one but some unusual twists and sequels to stories in previous books. (

I’m not even sure where I first picked up one of MZB’s Sword and Sorceress books. All I know is I was hooked with the first one. It took me several years to collect all 21, but I loved each one. Some years are better than other, and there are a few stories that I have never forgotten, but over all, you can’t go wrong reading this entire set! (

Book description

WITH BLADE HONED AND SPELLS BREWED

The defenders of the innocent and the makers of great enchantments prepare to face the many challenges of evil's forces In all of fantasy's far-flung realms, women of power - whether trained in the ways of the warrior or in the deepest secrets of sorcery - rally against those who seek to conquer and enslave.

Join today's most visionary fantasy writers - Mercedes Lackey, Diana Paxson, Josepha Sherman, and their comrades in worlds - as they lead you on quest for shapechangers who prowl the night in search of unsuspecting prey;

a sword whose cost could prove far greater than gold;

a dragon whose magic may seem more of a curse than a blessing -

and countless other adventures where one miscast spell or off-target arrow could see the forces of darkness invading all of magic's lands ...
countless = 26 novellas
--------------------------

WHEN EVIL WALKS THE LANDS

women trained in the arts of spell or sword mus guard the many realms of fantasy. Now let the bards tell of victory and defeat in such tales of magic and mayhem as:

Stopthrust Life is hard and all too often extremely short for those who must fight in the gladiators' arena. When magic suddenly enters the games, will skill or spell prove the winner?
A Woman's Weapon Can Kethry and Tarma solve a riddle of treachery and betrayal before a dealer in death claims another innocent's life?
Tiger's Eye - Captured by a magic she scarcely understands can she find the secret means to make her enemy's weapon her own?
