Maps to Nowhere
Follow the map to another world . . .
Two cities joined by their reflections. A realm of feathered serpents and jaguar-men. A desert where a former goddess seeks the ultimate truth. In this collection, award-winning author Marie Brennan takes you to ten different fantastical lands, including the world of her famed scholar-heroine Lady Trent. Journey with her to places rich and strange: here there be more than just dragons.

Maps to Nowhere is a really enjoyable, readable collection, and Brennan’s writing is always delightfully engaging. Skip [Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nocturnes], read this.
