***What follows is a small collection of short stories set in the universe of the Traveler’s Gate Trilogy, which begins in the novel House of Blades. If you have not read House of Blades, or its sequel, The Crimson Vault, then you will not understand the stories in this collection.*** In the first story, The Lightning Wastes, Leah hires a familiar bodyguard to help her recruit some wayward Travelers of Endross. In the second story, Caverns of Flame, a young Traveler-in-training is faced with a rival he can't beat and a test he can't pass. In the final story, Ragnarus, the first Queen of Damasca gives her life fighting the Incarnation of Elysia. ***This collection is intended to give fans of the Traveler's Gate Trilogy a look into the Travelers and Territories that didn't quite make it into the novels. If you're happy with the amount of world-building in the novels, and you'd rather wait until you can find out what happens to Simon, that's perfectly fine! City of Light is coming in early 2014.***
