A three-pack of novella goodness. A menage a trois of... um... well, let's just say all three stories were engaging, original, and a pleasure to read." --Jim C. Hines, author of THE MERMAID'S MADNESS."Prepare to be drawn in, prepare to be amazed, and prepare to meet characters as unforgettable as their settings. A remarkable collection!" --Julie E.

A must-read for any lover of speculative fiction." --Rebecca Moesta, New York Times bestselling author."From Pi's shapeshifting antiquities thief in modern London, to Levine's far-future astronaut clone who finds himself paying for sins he doesn't remember committing, to Cheney's fair folk in turn of the century Saratoga Springs, each novella portrays a complete and well-realized world, with engaging characters and great story-telling." --Martha Wells, author of The Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy
