An anthology celebrating the witches and sorcerers of epic fantasy - featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Megan Lindholm, and many more! Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology 'The Book of Swords' comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield. Yet though their abilities may be godlike, these men and women remain human, some might say all too human. Such is their curse. And their glory.
