A Breviary of Fire
(2024)(A book in the Collected Short Fiction of Marie Brennan series)
A collection of stories by Marie Brennan
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”
The words of composer Gustav Mahler animate this collection of sixteen tales from award-winning author Marie Brennan, inspired by mythological and folkloric traditions around the world. Here you will find flames of revenge, immortality, and grace, as a valkyrie seeks peace, a queen weaves and unweaves her own fate, and a goddess vanishes from mortal memory — but never from the page.
