Summary: A fun series of short stories set in the land of Talislanta.
Comment: I have to admit, I would have bought this book no matter what, since I am such a huge fan of the Talislanta role-playing game. Fortunate for me that the stories in here are of very high calibre, and make entertaining reading.

The first story, "Tamerlin's Oddesy", details the origins of the famous explorer, taking the reader up to the very moment where "Chronicles of Talislanta" starts.

"Tulki's Revenge" deals with an young man's assault on his home, the ocean-going city of Oceanus.

"Survival" is a short and brutal tale that depicts live among the tribes living in the desolate land of Harak, with a twisted ending.

"To Rest in the Sea" is a story about one slave in the Quan Empire and his yearning to be free, and the length he will go to achieve that.

"Rogues" is a humorous tale of three thieves, each with very different styles, competing to see who is the best in all of Zandu.

"Of Women and Honor" tells of a Farad merchant and his first major slave-trading mission, and what happens when affairs of the heart clash with money-matters.

"The Ring" is a funny tale of Pix, the ferran (a rat-like humanoid), and his extraordinary adventure in retrieving a lost ring.

"Finding the Way" is a touching story of a "green man" (a race of diminutive humanoids who communicate with plants) and his devotion to life and love of his friend, a mandalan mystic warrior.

Finally, "Shadowmoon" tells us of an ariane who hears the lonely cry of a lost soul, and sets out on a quest to save it. The ending is quite a shock, and brought a tear of happiness to my eye.
