Unfettered: Tales by Masters of Fantasy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944145224)

The award-winning anthology, in trade paperback for the first time, featuring two-dozen SF&F short stories, including one of the last published works within Robert Jordan's bestselling Wheel of Time series!

If you enjoy SF&F written by some of the best storytellers working today, this first Unfettered collection from series editor Shawn Speakman is for you. Enter worlds beyond your wildest imagination, journey through a vast array of themes, and explore the complexities of humanity and the wonders of the universe in these enthralling stories that will leave you spellbound.

Terry Brooks offered the seed that grew into his Word/Void trilogy. Patrick Rothfuss wrote a lyrical Four Corners story about Naming. Jacqueline Carey shared the beautiful tale that ultimately inspired Kushiel's Dart. Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson delivered one of the last Wheel of Time stories to ever be published. Naomi Novik explored the Temeraire universe in the stars. These stories and more comprise this incredible anthology for which, as the title suggests, the writers were free to contribute whatever they wished.
