Waters Luminous and Deep

A spellbinding collection of short stories by the author of the Darkangel and Firebringer trilogies.

Meredith Ann Pierce’s acclaimed novels are the proof of a remarkable imagination. Here is more proof-eight shorter works of fiction, each with a strong heroine, a tangibly imagined world, and unforgettable imagery. Included here are the text to her only picture book, Where the Wild Geese Go ; the tale that showed a teenaged Meredith that she was, indeed, a writer ( In Quest of the Icerose ); and a powerful novella originally commissioned by SFWA Grandmaster Andre Norton ( Rampion ). Waters Luminous and Deep encapsulates the evolution of one writer’s unmistakable style, and has all of the power of her longer work.

A shimmering, stirring archipelago of tales. -Booklist
