The first new Darkover anthology in almost two decades, this volume focuses on the music of Darkover: stories with musical elements; the songs in the books; and the filk songs inspired by them, from "The Horsetamer's Daughter" by Leslie Fish to eight songs by Cynthia McQuillin. Original stories included are by India Edghill, Leslie Fish, Raul S. Reyes, Michael Spence, and Elisabeth Waters. There are also reprints of stories by Mercedes Lackey and Vera Nazarian.

This is a collection of connected stories: * The Birthday Gift, by Elisabeth Waters * Dragon in Distress, by Mercedes Lackey & Elisabeth Waters * The Dragon's Horde, by Elisabeth Waters & Raul S. Reyes * A Prince Among Frogs, by Elisabeth Waters The story arc started when Princess Rowena's sorceress aunt gave her a fourteenth-birthday gift that could truly be described as enchanting, which impelled Rowena to leave home and take refuge with a dragon. Then things really spiraled out of control, dragging in Tarma and Kethry, a pregnant mercenary (and being carried off by a dragon while suffering from morning sickness is not a fun experience), and a rather clueless prince. And after tangling with Rowena, the prince needed a witch to rescue him.

This is a collection of Darkover stories written by Elisabeth Waters. Except for the title story, they were previously published in Darkover anthologies between 1980 and 2014.

"A captivating and sometimes whimsical collection of short stories from a talented writer. I thoroughly enjoyed them!"—Nalini Singh, New York Times Bestselling AuthorThis is a collection of eight short stories that can best be called suburban fantasy. They span the country from New York to San Francisco, but there's magic of one sort or another everywhere.The stories in this collection are: Tell Me a Story; Golden Vanity; Connecticat (with Raul S. Reyes); Blood Calls to Blood; Ice Princess; Weather Witch; Things That Go Grump in the Night; and A Prince Among Frogs. The last three have overlapping characters and form sort of a casual mini-series.These stories were originally published between 1983 and 1996 in various anthologies and magazines, edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Esther M. Friesner, Martin H. Greenberg, Andre Norton, and Jane Yolen.
