Celebrate the holiday spirit with three musical stories from Anne B. Walsh:
"Laeti Triumphantes": Isabel de Maine and Nevan O'Grady find they have similar taste in carols... what else will they share at Christmas, 1786? From the Chronicles of Glenscar.
"Glorious Song of Old": Eleven-year-old Carol lives on a world without music, but that doesn't stop her from wanting it. When a starship set up as a zoo comes to her planet deep in December, she discovers a secret about the creatures on display. The spirit of Christmas prompts her to set the captives free, but that might mean her own dreams will never come true...
"The Angel and the Rose": Lady mage Cecily Ashe and her betrothed, Barnabas Lecomte of the Order of Middle Knights, invite you to a ball in honor of their Christmastime wedding. Commoners, or those without magic, need not apply. Come in costume, from a story you doubt the other guests will know. But keep your wits about you, for at this ball, nothing is as it seems...
