Reave the Just and Other Tales

Stephen R. Donaldson's unique talents have placed his work alongside that of J. R. R. Tolkien and established him as a writer with the rare ability to expand readers' imaginations. Now he presents a magnificent new collection of eight stories and novellas--three of which have never before been published. This outstanding volume commences with the fablelike title story, "Reave the Just, " which highlights one of Donaldson's favorite themes: the individual's power to overcome adversity.
This collection also introduces the morbid, soul-taking hero of "Penance, " the mysterious beggar woman in the dark fairy tale "The Woman Who Loved Pigs, " and the pampered antihero forced to make a choice between virtue and vice in "The Djinn Who Watches Over the Accursed."Boasting exotic settings and suspense fueled by sudden plot twists, Reave the Just and Other Tales is a testament to Stephen R.
Donaldson's talent to spin unforgettably spellbinding stories, and the astonishing scope of his mastery of magic and myth.
