Realms of the Dragons II

Realms of the Dragons II, edited by Philip Athans, is the tenth anthology of stories from the Forgotten Realms. All the short stories relate in some way to the horrific Year of Rogue Dragons.

"Realms rise and fall, human lives tick by like seconds on a clock, and the dragons watch from on high. But when the mighty wyrms lose their minds, when they succumb to their basest, most violent impulses, time stands still.

And that just happens to be the moment you should be running the fastest.

From the far corners of Faerûn, from the skies above and the pits below, from the imaginations of the next generation of fantasy masters, come tales of dragons good and evil.

This collection features all new stories by Forgotten Realms newcomers including Maiden of Pain author Kameron M. Franklin, Murray J. D. Leeder, Erik Scott de Bie, James P. Davis, and many more."
