Buried Deep and Other Stories

The various worlds that Novik (The Golden Enclaves) has created appear in a collection of 13 stories that will please all of her readers. See the beginning of the Dragon Corps when Marc Antony hatches and bonds with a dragon in “Vici.” There’s the short story “Spinning Silver,” which became the popular novel of the same name. A mushroom witch must face off against her entitled roommate in the Scholomance in “After Hours,” and there’s a glimpse of Novik’s new world and upcoming series in “The Long Way Round.” Readers are even treated to a story of Irene Adler in “Commonplaces.” Filled with spirited characters, exciting action, and magical beasts, the stories will be both familiar and new and broaden the original landscapes of Novik’s previous novels. While several of these stories have already been published, there are also new treats to find in this collection. Putting them together in one volume offers fans and new readers the breadth and depth of Novik’s writing.
