Absolutely fantastic collection of fantasy stories to get you lost for awhile. One particular story that stood out was Born in Flames by SC Stokes.

Vera of the Baronial Guard is leading an attack on the Citadel for the Wolf. With Baron Gerwold’s elite and the pride of Belnair backing her up with his own attack to her side. They breached the gate and began their fight. While holding her precious Skaeros she fights like a demon when a dragon alights above them and flames spread over the area. She calls on the “Allfather” for help. When the flames stop she is the only one standing with not a burn on her. She wonders what the “Allfather” has in store for her. Continuing on with her attach she gathers more men but it is not enough! With injuries, she searches for a healer and so the beginning of the Strife of Souls begins….. What did I like? Well, the first thing is that the lead character is a badass woman leading men into battle for a cause. Standing in the street with flames around her… who wouldn’t want to be her!!! She’s strong, a warrior and well respected. What will you like? Action with a capital A… the battle will take your breath away and have you on the edge of the seat. The characters are amazing, knowing that more will be coming as the series begins. You have dragons and battles with supernatural beings reigning over them. The writing of Sam Stokes will take you over the mountain as he spins his stories for all of us to enjoy and this is just the beginning!

The Mysterious Reader –
Fantastic Realms: A Fantasy Anthology is a wonderful set of stories, and at a bargain basement price for all you get. It has new works by a number of authors I’ve read, including three favorite authors, S.C. Stokes, Sarah K. L. Wilson and Craig A. Price Jr. No surprise that I’ve read their contributions first, all of which were superb (though I probably give the edge to either Wilson’s A Whiff of Magic or Stokes’ Born In Flames). The box set is worth it for just these three tales, and I fully an Fantastic Realms: A Fantasy Anthology is a wonderful set of stories, and at a bargain basement price for all you get.

The box set is worth it for just these three tales, and I fully anticipate that I’m going to really enjoy most, very possibly all, of the others in this anthology. Highly recommended.

A great collection of stories? Magic and spells, dragons and heroes. This is a fantastic collection of stories from authors I'm familiar with and some new authors to me. Stories for everyone. Some light and some very dark, but all are entertaining. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it! A great collection of stories? Magic and spells, dragons and heroes.

I read Born in Flames ... What, this was it? I have more questions than answers ...: what’s the backstory to this fight? Why did the Allfather save Vera? Will she get her answers? A fast paced short story that leaves me wanting more! I received a free copy of this book, with no obligation.
