This is a collection of short stories around the theme of young warriors, including:
- The Gift of Rain Mountain by Bruce Holland Rogers
- The Magestone by S. M. and Jan Stirling
- Eli and the Dybbuk by Janis Ian
- Heartless by Holly Black
- Lioness by Pamela F. Service
- Thunderbolt by Esther Friesner
- Devil Wind by India Edghill
- The Boy Who Cried "Dragon!" by Mike Resnick
- Student of Ostriches by Tamora Pierce
- Serpent's Rock by Laura Anne Gilman
- Hidden Warriors by Margaret Mahy
- Emerging Legacy by Doranna Durgin
- An Axe for Men by Rosemary Edghill
- Acts of Faith by Lesley McBain
- Swords That Talk by Brent Hartinger
Although these stories have a common theme, they all approach it differently with settings across many places on Earth and beyond, and throughout time as well. Some of the stories are historical (not fantasy) but most of them have magic or fantasy elements. I found it interesting to see the ways in which different authors approached the idea of "warriors" - not all of the characters fight with weapons, but all of them fight for something. I would recommend this collection to fantasy fans who enjoy thought-provoking stories and coming-of-age tales.
- If this book sounds interesting, consider these: Rampant, Dark Mirror series, Knight & Rogue novels, or The Seer and the Sword
