Two magic-takers from another world, arguing about whether they can collect what they came for before you wake up.

Stone and String by Stephanie Flint Pdf

A spell to infuriate the goddess of the dead... In the world of "The Wishing Blade," everyone is born with two strings of magic. One strand is life, and the other is death. Very few can manipulate them. Among the Cantingen Islanders, children are tested for this ability during their first rites of magic, a ceremony which determines what magic they have and their future as a mage. But when Edyli's little sister, Akymi, dies in an accident before those rites can occur, Edyli does the unthinkable. She uses magic to return Akymi to the living. As a result, she finds herself in a land of weblike strings… the afterlife. Edyli refuses to give up seeing her sister's first rites. With the help of a mysterious immortal and sheer determination, she has every intention of seeing her sister once more, even if it means incurring the wrath of Madia, the goddess of the dead. ~ Author's Note: This is an 8,000-word short story based in the universe of "The Wishing Blade" series.

Wind and Words by Stephanie Flint Pdf

Life magic is not meant to be alone. Everyone is born with two strings of magic. One strand is life, and the other is death. When Edyli escaped the land of the dead after saving her sister, the goddess of death removed Edyli’s death magic. Without that string, Edyli is unbalanced, a “monster” who cannot sleep, cannot die, and without care, will slowly go mad. Banished from her home for refusing to make amends with the goddess, Edyli is surprised to discover a child without life magic deep in the jungle—a child her remaining magic is drawn to, because those who are unbalanced are inexplicably drawn together. Terrified of what might happen if the two of them touch, Edyli seeks answers about the mysterious child. If she can recover the child’s life magic, she might earn back the goddess’s favor and become whole again. But one mistake, and Edyli could live forever in insanity. ~ KEYWORDS: fantasy quest, strong female protagonist, magic, sorcery, word magic, spells, mage born, mage, adventure, dark magic, girl sorcerer, sister, sisterhood, friendship, young adult fantasy, fantasy, epic fantasy, secondary world fantasy, YA fantasy, gods and goddesses, goddess, immortal magic, stolen magic, afterlife, magical realm, mystical realm, quick read, fantasy novella

New Magics by Patrick Nielsen Hayden Pdf

Whether it's a tale of a wizard developing his powers or a breakneck chase through New York City in search of the Grail, the best fantasy is all about coming face to face with reality---with boundaries---and saying, What if? It's about stepping across the threshold of what is and what must be into a world of maybes and why-nots. Most of all, it's a great deal of fun. It's for today's generation of young readers that Patrick Nielsen Hayden---winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology---has selected these stories from the thousands published by contemporary fantasy writers over the past two decades. For those readers who keep asking questions but are never completely satisfied with the answers---only the journey. Here is National Book Award winner Ursula K. Le Guin with a tale of wizardry from the world of her Earthsea books. Here is Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game, with the original story of Prentice Alvin in alternate, magical nineteenth-century America. Here is Newbery Medal winner Robin McKinley with a tale of an exiled princess's quest to regain her people. Here is Sandman author Neil Gaiman with a story of chivalry, with a distinctly modern twist. Here are werewolves and princesses, battles and enchantments, and great stories from Jane Yolen, Harry Turtledove, Charles de Lint, Emma Bull, and more. Whimsical or harrowing, irreverent or sublime, each of these stories is an adventure in imagination. Journey from the here and now to New Magics.

Stealing Magic by Tanya Huff,Heather Bruton Pdf

Between the covers of this "double-faced flipover" book, you_ll find two complete collections of Tanya Huff_s comical short stories featuring Magdelene (the world's most powerful and laziest wizard) and Terazin (a top-notch thief). "Stealing Magic is charming, funny, and once again proves that Huff has no regard for the conventions and boundaries of genre... -- the genre is turned on its head, and to hilarious effect. The Magdelene stories in Stealing Magic are certainly some of the few _high fantasy_ short works that I have enjoyed recently." - Challenging Destiny Stealing Magic is both appealing and amusing, and belongs in everyone's fantasy collection.

Five Magics by Ron Collins Pdf

- What will a man do for power? - How much is freedom worth? - What will it take to bring an end to a curse that will destroy an entire family line? - When is it time for an apprentice to make his own life? - What secrets lie in the bones of a raptor? Award-winning author Ron Collins brings you "Five Magics," a collection of swords, sorcery, and wonder that explores the human side of magic. Inside its pages, you'll find: A young sorcerer takes his father's place on a quest to help his king. What secrets will he find? Is blood thicker than water? Find out in "A Gathering of Bones," which earned a mention in Ellen Datlow and Terry Windling's Year's Best Fantasy & Horror. Chains or not, a gladiator can live a fine enough life until it's no longer fashionable that he win. "Ties That Bind" pits today's champion against the next of the chosen. A centuries-old curse threatens a family, and the entire race of dryads, in "The Family Tree," recognized with a Cauldron award by readers of Marion Zimmer Bradley's FANTASY Magazine. "True Power" is attainable for one willing to risk everything. But is it worth the price? "The Time of Leaving" finds an apprentice given an unexpected test. Will he pass? And, perhaps more important, what's the question? ----------- "Collins's characterization goes a long way towards making (Ties That Bind) enjoyable." - Steven Sawicki, Absolute Magnitude The story ("Ties that Bind") is nicely written and worth reading. - Crystal Forkan, Tangent Online The ("Family Tree's") resolution (is) a pleasant surprise. - John Everson, Tangent The darkest and, for me, best piece in this genre in Flights of Fantasy was "A Gathering of Bones" by Ron Collins. It is a first-person story of a young sorcerer alone after his father's death, whose presence is required at the king's palace where the princess lies dying. He will discover much of his father's dark past under the prodding of his hawk, Kiva, who is herself much more than she looks. "A Gathering of Bones" had a nice, lightly Gormenghastish streak of nastiness throughout, something the other stories lacked in their largely good vs. bad dichotomy. - George T. Dodds, SF Site
