Dark divinations spell trouble for a lawless city in this shared-world fantasy anthology edited by the New York Times–bestselling author of Sanctuary. "Amusingly 'low' fantasy adventure, varied enough to appeal to those who have had their fill of Tolkien and want funnier, nastier stuff." — Kirkus Reviews Surviving is a full-time occupation for the citizens of Sanctuary. A city shaped by magic, evil, and political intrigue, she has weathered natural disasters and man-made calamities for ages. The great priest, Molin Torchholder preserved her history and secrets. All his knowledge has since passed along to Cauvin, a stonemason who is now a reluctant advisor to Sanctuary's current master, the Irrune chieftain Arizak. Beckoned to the palace, Cauvin hears a troubling prophecy. The shadows are coming, bringing with them sorcery, the likes of which the city hasn't seen in decades. Sanctuary has reached a turning point. With new dangers on the way and a dead man haunting his thoughts, Cauvin must find a way to ensure his home's continued survival . . . Welcome back to Sanctuary and prepare to meet an eccentric cast of characters like Halott the Necromancer, Latilla the daughter of the legendary artist Lalo the Limmer, Dysan the short and scrappy thief, and Jake the Rat! The shared-world anthology returns with stories by Raymond E. Feist, Dennis L. McKiernan, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Diana Paxson, Jody Lynn Nye, Lynn Abbey, and many more. "Shapechangers, wizards, cutpurses, and assassins share the spotlight in stories by Lynn Abbey, Raymond Feist, Andrew Offut, and others. Fans of the original 'Thieves' World' series should enjoy this volume, a sequel to Abbey's novel Sanctuary and a harbinger of other volumes to come. A good choice for most fantasy collections." — Library Journal

A priest rushes to pass along his memories of a dangerous city as death and a vengeful cult draw near in this fantasy novel by a New York Times bestseller. “Fans of Thieves’ World will relish this sprawling epic, rich with sword and sorcery archetypes, from one of its cocreators. . . . The gates to this famed city are reopened, assuring all that more adventures are just around the corner.” —Publishers Weekly Return once again to the den of thieves, swordsmen, wizards, priests, and gods known as Sanctuary . . . Sanctuary is a city shaped by ages of heroes and villains. In her lifetime, she has weathered catastrophes and welcomed prosperity. She has seen fire, storm, plague, invasion, madness, and gods at war. Yet her present-day citizens have no time for memories for they are too busy trying to survive. Only Lord Molin Torchholder, the ancient and wise architect of the city’s glory, knows the whole truth about Sanctuary. But when an attempt on his life leaves him fighting to keep death at bay, he must find an heir for all his knowledge of the city’s history. Aiding him in his struggle are Cauvin, a not-too-bright stonemason’s apprentice, and Bec, his spirited younger brother. Soon, Molin’s chronicles of the past unfold, but their time grows shorter. An evil long thought dead has returned to Sanctuary’s streets, eager to write more history . . . with blood. “The originator of the popular ‘Thieves’ World’ novels, the first shared-world fantasy environment, has returned to a world where vice and decadence coexist with heroism and self-sacrifice in a heady blend of atmosphere and adventure that should appeal to fans of the original series as well as newcomers. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal “Although this is primarily an adventure story, and a pretty good one at that, it is also a richer and more detailed novel . . . the book is both more ambitious and more rewarding than most similar fantasy adventures, as well as providing a nostalgic return to the Thieves’ World.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
