Part of Series

The author of the marvelous Darkover novels and of the best-selling Arthurian novel THE MISTS OF AVALON, has assembled this corona of heroic fantasy wherein women of courage and wizardry challenge the evils and dreads of an ensorcelled world. Here are new stories of warrior women and mistresses of magic, stories of adventure and derring-do, written by such as Glen Cook, Phyllis Ann Karr, Charles R Saunders, Jennifer Roberson, Diana Paxson, and many more. Marion Zimmer Bradley writes in her introduction: "Valor has neither race nor color - nor does it have gender...Anyone can write male sexist fiction; anyone can write feminist propaganda. I hop to avoid either and to entertain you while I'm doing it." Here she has succeeded!

Authors

Various
Author · 209 books

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50). If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it. Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
