More About the Author
Product Description
Review
‘If there is any justice in the world, Stephen Donaldson will earn the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tolkien.’
Time Out
‘The most individual of the Tolkien successors.’
Guardian
Product Description
The first-ever collection of short fantasy fiction from the award-winning author of the Thomas Covenant trilogies.
Stephen Donaldson is one of the undisputed masters of modern fantasy, and his two award-winning Thomas Covenant trilogies and the Mordant’s Need series are universally recognised as classics of their kind.
Daughter of Regals, his first short-story collection, was originally published in 1984 and contains eight superb stories – including ‘Gilden-Fire’, the famous out-take from The Illearth War (volume II of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant).
Now, Daughter of Regals is being repackaged and reissued to accompany Voyager’s publication of Reave the Just, Stephen Donaldson’s stunning new collection of short stories – his first work of mainstream fantasy for more than ten years.
Includes the following stories: Daughter of Regals • Gilden-Fire • Mythological Beast • The Lady in White • Animal Lover • Unworthy of the Angel • The Conqueror Worm • Ser Visal’s Tale

Format:Paperback
Any fantasy fan should enjoy these, intelligent, moral and good stories. Without hundreds of pages of introspection which can make some Donaldson stuff a bit heavy going.

Format:Paperback
With the exception of "The Conqueror Worm", this collection of short stories is some of the best fantasy writing you will see. Donaldson's mastery of the fantasy art is well displayed here and his story telling abilty is at its best with "Ser-Visal's Tale".

Really Great and I'm not even a Steven R. Donaldson fan
9 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
I got bored with the Thomas Covenant series and only read the 2nd one because the books happened to be in the free books at the library when it wasnt open. I didn't mind his sci-fi series, either, but it wasn't superb.
This is by far my favorite Donaldson book, and the title novella is awesome.

'Princess Gets Her Own Back!'
17 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
In this excellent fantasy short story, the theme of monarchial sucession is dealt with from the insider's point of view.
Of course all is not simple nor magic free (after all this is Stephen Donaldson!), and the heir apparant finds herself pitted against high born rivals, sexy traitors, personal assault and worst of all self doubt..that she is REAL?
Confused? read the book, it is short and unputdownable, and then tell me afterwards....what would you have been?
