Harvest Moon

by Mercedes Lackey, Michelle Sagara, and Cameron Haley

Three unforgettable new stories

A Tangled Web by New York Times bestselling author Mercedes Lackey

Kidnapping Persephone should have been an easy task. But in the Five Hundred Kingdoms, nothing's ever simple--and the wrong blonde goddess is stolen by mistake, leaving Prince Leopold without his new bride. At least until he braves the realm of the dead to get her back...

Cast in Moonlight by New York Times bestselling author Michelle Sagara

Barely a teenager, Kaylin Neya is a thief, a fugitive and an attempted assassin. She also has a smart mouth, sharp wits and mysterious markings on her skin. All of which make her perfect bait for a child prostitution sting in the city of Elantra--if she survives her first meeting with the Hawks!

Retribution by Cameron Haley

In the underworld, there are tricks to killing.

Like executing rivals at crossroads so ghosts won't follow you home. But sometimes retribution is hard to avoid--and now a supernatural hit man has a contract on Domino Riley's life. Luckily she knows a thing or two about death....

Three stories set in different worlds The first is set in Mercedes Lackey's Five Thousand Kingdoms and a quest by Prince Leopold and Brunnhilde searching for a solution to their prospective life lengths in a greek-style kingdom where they become involved in a Persepone and Hades story which is done well and interestingly. Persepone has more agency in this story than usually.
Cast in Moonlight, my favourite, which tells the early story of how Kaylin and the Hawks first intersected and it made me want to re-read and read anew the series. It's a story that made me want to know more and read on, even if I have read several of the stories.
Retribution by Cameron Haley is an urban fantasy featuring mobs run by magic where Domino Riley takes out an opponent who curses her and then she has to work out how to defeat this curse, while also discovering that the reasons for killing her victim aren't as obvious as first seen.
Good read but the middle story makes it a keeper.
