<p>“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”</p><p>The words of composer Gustav Mahler animate this collection of sixteen tales from award-winning author Marie Brennan, inspired by mythological and folkloric traditions around the world. Here you will find flames of revenge, immortality, and grace, as a valkyrie seeks peace, a queen weaves and unweaves her own fate, and a goddess vanishes from mortal memory — but never from the page.</p><p><br></p><p>TABLE OF CONTENTS</p><p>* This Is How</p><p>* Serpent, Wolf, and Half-Dead Thing</p><p>* The Waking of Angantyr</p><p>* Silence, Before the Horn</p><p>* Daughter of Necessity</p><p>* Your Body, My Prison, My Forge</p><p>* For the Fairest</p><p>* The Wives of Paris</p><p>* The Me of Perfect Sight</p><p>* The Gospel of Nachash</p><p>* Salt Feels No Pain</p><p>* At the Heart of Each Pearl Lies a Grain of Sand</p><p>* Centuries of Kings</p><p>* The Old Woman and the Tea</p><p>* Ghost and Fox</p><p>* Speak to the Moon</p><p>* Story notes</p>
