A Witch Among Wolves contains twenty stories of the fantastic and the wondrous. From the ancient past to the distant future, from the Rocky Mountains to the shores of the Mediterranean, follow the adventures of priestesses and wanderers, conservationists and pilgrims, shapeshifters and hunters, morticians and marines. Colonists fleeing a dead Earth encounter primal powers that are not entirely welcoming. A wildlife sanctuary attracts the attention of a mad God. An ancient evil lies waiting in a long-lost cavern. An aging archer and a fox must work together to hunt down malevolent dreams. A priest takes shelter with a group of pilgrims who are not all as they appear to be. And a witch must travel deep into the mountains and negotiate with a hostile spirit to save someone she loves.
This new edition contains many of the stories from the original A Witch Among Wolves and The Serpent in the Throat, as well as previously uncollected short tales.
