The cross-genre anthology
Dangerous Women edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois is a collection of twenty-one short stories celebrating dangerous women, both heroines and villains, and includes a new “Outlander” story by
Diana Gabaldon, a tale of Harry Dresden’s world by
Jim Butcher, a story from
Lev Grossman set in the world of "The Magicians," and a novella by
George R. R. Martin about the "Dance of the Dragons," the vast civil war that tore Westeros apart nearly two centuries before the events of "A Game of Thrones."
Also included are original stories of heroines and villains alike by Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie, Sherilynn Kenyon, Lawrence Block, Carrie Vaughn, S. M. Stirling, Sharon Kay Penman, and many others.
"This meaty collection delivers something for nearly every reader's taste as it explores the heights that brave women can reach and the depths that depraved ones can plumb." (Publishers Weekly Reviews)
