Buried in the Deep and other short stories

Thirteen short stories from the pen of the bestselling author.

Accept this invitation into the magical gothic halls of the Scholomance trilogy and the fairytale worlds of Spinning Silver and Uprooted—this collection of short stories will guide you from Slavic mythology to fantasy, from legends to history, and from mystery to science fiction. You will meet Mark Antony, Sherlock Holmes, and Elizabeth Bennet as you've never known them before. You will visit exotic fantasy cities and extraterrestrial civilisations.

Although the stories are very diverse, they are united by a single theme: taking fate into one's own hands and the fear of how far a person is willing to go to get what they want. In one story, the author returns to a rebuilt Scholomance and offers a glimpse into the lives of a new generation of students, as well as some old acquaintances. The cherry on top is a short story from the world of a yet-unpublished novel, a teaser for the author's next book. And there's plenty to look forward to!
