Bradley, Marion Z.: SWORD AND SORCERESS VIII

As the forces of evil reach out to conquer new realms, claiming the lives and treasures of unprotected innocents, there are always a valliant few ready to oppose these maters of darkness and destruction. Bold women warriors, wise women, sorceresses wielding the powers of light - all are ready to aid those in need with no thought to the perils they themselves will face.

Let some of today´s finest fantasy writers - Mercedes Lackey, Jennifer Roberson, Diana Paxson, and their fellow visionaries - carry you off to the enchanted lands where stalwart heroines pit their skills against such terrors as: an ancient dragon that has long held a kingdom hostage to its terrible hunger ... a stealer of magics who seeks to drain the power from all who cross her path ... a mortal so caught in evil´s thrall that not even his own family is safe from harm ... and all the other enemies that onlythose long-trined to battle with sowrd and spell can hope to overcome...
