Buried Deep and Other Stories

Meer over het boek

This thrilling collection features thirteen short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of the Scholomance Trilogy, including a sneak peek at her next novel's setting. Spanning the dragon-filled Temeraire series, the gothic halls of the Scholomance trilogy, and the fairy tale realms of Spinning Silver and Uprooted, the stories traverse fairy tales, fantasy, myth, history, mystery, and science fiction. In "Buried Deep," we journey through ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, and into modern times, encountering figures like Mark Antony, Sherlock Holmes, and Elizabeth Bennet in unexpected ways. The collection transports readers to exotic fantasy cities and alien civilizations, all connected by a central theme: the quest to find and seize one's destiny, whether by becoming a pirate, captaining a fighting dragon, or shifting from marriage to pursue one's fate with a sword. Additionally, two original tales offer fresh insights into the remade Scholomance post-El’s revolution, revealing life for the new students. The collection also provides a glimpse into Novik’s upcoming series, set in a deserted land inhabited by silent, enigmatic architectural giants whose secrets await discovery.
