Synopsis ~

Write-up from the back of the paperback edition ~

Renaissance Faires have become increasingly popular the world around, often establishing themselves as annual events in specific locations. From joust to feasts, plays to magic shows, from dancers and musicians to fortune-tellers and artisans, today’s Faire-goers can find any number of events and people to catch their interest and spark their imagination. What a perfect setting for contemporary tales of a fantastical nature.
Now some of fantasy’s most creative talents have taken up the challenge of telling all-original tales of encounters and enchantments set in and around Renaissance Faires.
From a master jeweler who unexpectedly gains a treasure beyond price…to a musician suddenly able to work magic with his strings…to a thief who picks the wrong mark – or perhaps the right one…to a policeman’s encounter with Merlin and murder…here are fifteen spellbinding tales certain to captivate both Faire-goers and fantasy fans alike.
