(from the Harper-Collins website): So many voices; so many worlds ... Australia′s internationally bestselling fantasy writers take you on a few side roads with favourite characters from the worlds you already know and love ...

Revisit a dark pocket of history for the Magician′s Guild or get caught up in the confusion of an endlessly repeating day in the Citadel. Cross the wall, where Charter magic is all that lies between you and death. A trip with a graverobber can be gruesome, and it′s hard to share the fear of a woman who must kill her husband if her child is to rule ... An unfinished story plays out in Sevenwaters. Catch up with Ros and Adi as they prepare for the greatest change of all. Other twists in these fabulous tales bring us to demonic destiny and an alternate WWII ... These are not short stories.
