Guilds & Glaives by S.C. Butler, Joshua Palmatier, Esther M. Friesner, Howard Andrew Jones, James Enge, Violette Malan, Jenna Rhodes, Gini Koch, D.B. Jackson, Ashley McConnell, David Farland, R.K. Nickel
Stop right there! If you like your fantasy filled with fellowships and noble quests, this anthology is not for you. And if you love lengthy tales of politics and power, then it won’t be to your taste either. But if you like a little intimacy with your evil, and your vengeance short and sweet, with perhaps a pinch of silliness in the witchcraft, then these fourteen delicious sweetmeats of sword and sorcery will prove right up your alley. And it will be a dank, twisting, fetid alley, too.

In this book you will find no high elves (only low), no politics (unless assassination is involved), and certainly no nobility. Come explore the perilous streets and clashing blades found in Guilds & Glaives.
