In this, the third release in the annual Heiresses of Russ series, editor Tenea D. Johnson joins Steve Berman in choosing the best of the prior year's published speculative fiction with lesbian themes. A soothsayer predicts that a princess finding her true love will bring the downfall of her father; a lost soul visits a back-country wise woman to find out the truth of what haunts her; night on a summer fairground tour in a small and dusty future a pair of mech pilots struggle with their own stupors. These stories showcase the breadth and depth of lesbian fantasy and science-fiction written today.
