'An elderly male wizard, whose body has been destroyed by powerful unknown attackers, possesses the soul-less body of a young female half-elf.

A new lease on life perhaps. However, first he must not only protect his home and a new forbidden love from an invisible malevolent spirit, but also solve the mystery of who wanted him dead in the first place.

'Welcome to Magudonya, a magical world with connections to our own where the path of history has been changed through the presence of magick and gods. The kingdom of Engle is a far flung part of the wide-reaching Sorendenese empire. It is a country where elves are real and lions mythological creatures. A place where a numerically smaller invading force rules over an indigenous population that is still cowed by the sacrificial excesses of their own long-dead priest kings. A place where an ageing wizard with a mysterious past was just wanting to live out the last days of his life in peace until an act of kindness towards a fellow magician changed everything.'

'Australia has it own mythologies. Some of them were here long before Europeans arrived; some of them are yet to come. Steam-powered bushrangers. Restless penal colonies. Robotic mining operations. Fairy colonies in the gum trees and old ghosts in the laneways. Drought and fire and flood and new life struggling to emerge from the dust. These are the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we want to hide from.

'Thirty new stories from some of Australia’s best-known speculative fiction writers and some of its newest.' (Publication summary)
