Legends

Legends is a massive anthology consisting of eleven original short novels set within established, long-running fantasy universes. Each entry is written by the creator of that specific world, providing canonical expansions to famous literary landscapes. The collection includes Roland Deschain’s encounter with the Little Sisters of Eluria in Stephen King’s Mid-World, a prequel tale involving New Spring in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, and a narrative involving Hedge Knight Ser Duncan the Tall in George R. R. Martin’s Westeros. Other entries cover Earthsea, Majipoor, and the Discworld, focusing on specific events that occur outside the main timelines of their respective series.

This book serves dedicated fantasy enthusiasts who follow multiple legendary series and wish to see how authors return to their most famous settings. Readers gain a deeper understanding of backstories and side characters that are often only mentioned in passing throughout the core novels. The collection works as a gateway for those looking to sample different subgenres of high fantasy, from grimdark political intrigue to whimsical satire, without committing to a full multi-volume saga. It provides a unique cross-section of early-nineties fantasy craftsmanship in a single volume.
