The third Thieves’ World® anthology—with stories by fantasy’s favorite authors—curated by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Myth series. Times are hard, and the citizens of Sanctuary are not their greedy, immoral, grifting selves. But desperate times call for desperate measures, which means the bad guys are about to up their game. No one is safe from Sanctuary’s evil charms—not the fish in the waters, not the prince’s own Hell Hound guards, not even Satan himself. “Shadows also includes another story by Offutt that reinforces my opinion that he is incapable of writing a bad story for this series. A number of the tales are Tempus stories, with several of our other recurring characters also making appearances. By virtue of Tempus’ unique relationship with the god Vashanka, these stories also bring us back toward the storyline of the competing deities, and help us to look forward to new developments in the fourth book. All in all, Shadows is the strongest book amongst the first three publications.” —Fantasy-Faction

Paola Santiago has recently returned from Oregon, where she defeated the Hitchhiker ghost, saved her father from the vengeful spirit that was possessing him, and learned that she is the granddaughter of La Llorona. The poor girl deserves a rest! But first she has to rescue Dante from the void, where he's been imprisoned by some unknown force. Even though Dante has turned against Pao, she can't just leave him there--they've been friends for too long. Paola's prophetic dreams seem to have dried up, so she has to rely on one of her father's inventions to find a new rift where she can enter the void. His machine pinpoints a magical convergence in San Antonio,Texas--but how is she going to get there from New Mexico? It just so happens that Emma's new group of politically active friends, the Rainbow Rogues, are planning a bus trip to New Orleans, which will take them through Texas. It's the perfect ruse for Paola, if she can stand being with the judgmental girls for that long. . . . With scientific assistance from her father, training from the Ninos de la Luz, and the emotional support of her best friend Emma, Pao makes it into the void. Once there she must face down not just one but two enemies: El Cucuy, the bogeyman . . . and someone even scarier who looks a lot like Pao herself.

Imagine a world without plastic. Imagine a world where something in the environment eats plastic. Imagine arriving on such a world in a space ship. After traveling light years to Tau Ceti-e, these human colonists have only minutes to abandon their ships before the native plastic-eating organism turns those vessels into death traps of orbiting debris. Now they'll have to live an 18th-century way of life with the forbearance of the not-exactly hostile-but definitely not friendly-natives. After enough generations, they'll forget how they came to be here. Now they have questions: Why do the native Cetans keep humanity confined to one poor island? Why do they hate and mistrust the humans? What is going on? Private eye Jeremy Crowe finds himself caught up in the underground search for the truth, stuck on a middling rung in the modern caste system, and struggling to not make humanity's desperate situation any worse. Fighting for his life may turn out to be the easy part. *** Cover art by Ron Miller. Interior art by Rob Caswell.
