The Burned Tower by Sergey Dyachenko and Marina Dyachenko
Quote:
A truck driver on a lonely stretch of road, a hitchiker, and an ancient curse — a brilliant and moving tale, steeped in folklore, by the masters of modern Fantasy.
In 1999 “The Burned Tower” was awarded the “Interpresscon” as the best short story of the year on the international SF-convention in St-Petersburg. Now, for the first time, in English.

A Pehov Duet by Alexey Pehov
Quote:
Two original, exciting and engaging short stories from Alexey Pehov that feature master thief Shadow Harold, the protagonist of the Chronicles of Siala epic fantasy series.
In “The Snake”, Harold, the most accomplished thief in the world (and reluctant hero of Alexey Pehov’s award-winning series, Chronicles of Siala) may have finally met his match in what could prove to be his most dangerous escapade. A stand-alone short story appearing for the very first time.
“Battle of the Margend Horseshoe” is an additional scene from SHADOW BLIZZARD, Pehov’s upcoming conclusion to the Chronicles of Siala. Harold and friends, old and new, prepare for a spirited offensive attack after cleverly cornering the Orc army at the Margend Horsehoe river bend. An exciting taste of the masterful battle scenes that are Pehov’s forte.
