Events at Fort Plentitude

In this short story, an exiled soldier tries to wait out a winter in a fort beleaguered by fox-spirits and winter demons. Master storyteller Cat Rambo delivers another enchanting secondary world fantasy in a story that originally appeared in Weird Tales and which is reprinted in the collection Eyes Like Sky and Coal and Moonlight.

Find out why Endeavour, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominated Cat Rambo's been called one of the strongest storytellers in a generation of speculative fiction writers. Her emotionally rich stories play out against worlds that are evocative, imaginative, and beautifully but economically realized. In the Tales of Tabat series, Rambo explores a fantasy world where intelligent magical creatures co-exist uneasily with human beings in a social order on the verge of upheaval.
