About This Book

"A dream team . . . Legends is the rarest of the rare—an entire collection of original short novels by top fantasy writers." —USA Today

Acclaimed writer and editor Robert Silverberg gathered eleven of the finest writers in fantasy to contribute to this collection of short novels. Each of the writers was asked to write a new story based on one of his or her most famous series: from Stephen King's opening piece set in his popular Gunslinger universe to Robert Jordan's early look at his famed Wheel of Time saga, these stories are exceptionally well written and universally well told.
