Knaves, an anthology I co-edited with Alana Joli Abbott, features heroes whose moral compasses don’t point quite north.

...A medieval swindler gets caught with his proverbial pants down...but does ANYONE deserve what's coming to him?

...A foolproof plan to pick up some cash via AI...until things take an unexpected and deadly turn.

…A legendary bodyguard is hired to protect precious cargo…but who will protect the cargo from him?

The protagonists of Knaves are not all anti-heroes telling their side of the story. They are also heroic people faced with hard decisions, forced to reckon with darker sides of themselves. They are villains surprised to find they have a noble side to themselves, and they are those trying to atone for past evils they have done. The fourteen brand new stories in Knaves deal with the complex idea of morality and will make readers wonder… 

What is the ‘right side,’ anyway?

Featuring original stories from Mercedes Lackey, Cullen Bunn, Lian Hearn, Anton Strout, and many more!
