Where the great plain of Tarphet runs up, as the sea in estuaries, among the Cyresian mountains, there stood long since the city of Merimna well-nigh among the shadows of the crags. I have never seen a city in the world as beautiful as Merimna seemed to me when first I dreamed of it.
The leading story in this book is The Sword of Welleran. This story takes place in Merimna, the most beautiful city that exist in the world. It is a city of heroes and many victories.
After the hero called Welleran dies, people are in disbelief and can’t accept the truth. But, none of them knows that he can communicate with those who sleep. The dead hero finds a young man called Rold and decides to communicate with him through his dreams, in hope that he will take the Welleran’s sword and fight his enemies.
In the other stories you will read about the exotic city of Babbulkund and his destruction. Also, you will read about the death of Tom, the highwayman, the “Kith of the Elf Folk” dance, the Book of Magicians, natural disasters having a small talk.
In this book, you will find short and exquisite classic fantasy stories, which never get boring nor become a cliché.
