Silk & Steel

In this anthology, seventeen authors find new ways to pair one weapon-wielding woman and one whose strengths lie in softer skills. "Which is more powerful, the warrior or the gentlewoman?" these stories ask. And the answer is inevitably, "Both, working together!" Herein, you'll find duels and smugglers, dance battles and danger noodles, and even a new Swordspoint story! From big names and bold new voices, these stories are fun, clever, and always positive about the power of love.

When Alan's former research advisor makes an offer that'll let them return to Dyfed as respected members of society, Rhiannon knows she must accept. But home isn't exactly as she left it, and a hostile space fleet stands between her aging ship and her new/old life. Should she charge towards the fleet, or scurry back into international space as fast as her craft can go? Discover the Hive Queen Saga's thrilling conclusion!
