    Ooh, I wonder who this non-mortal is and why he wants her to be quiet. And the cover is absolutely gorgeous! I love that kind of drawing style, which seems kind of rough but is yet really detailed! Thanks for hosting :)

    I'm not usually a big fan of anthologies since I prefer novels to short stories. But this one certainly has an awesome assortment of authors. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!

    Is this quote from a short story within the book I am guessing only from the cover. The cover is very intriguing.
