A seer of the dead must find the king’s illegitimate nephew so he can be executed...
A mother escaping with her baby follows a coyote into a strange and dangerous dreamland...
A bride who is not what she seems takes an ancient artifact to betray her colonial husband...
A wing-maker fights her father’s addiction and her own fear to save her family trade...
These and other awe-inspiring stories await in The Best of Beneath Ceaseless Skies Online Magazine, Year Seven, a new anthology of eighteen stories from Beneath Ceaseless Skies, the Hugo Award-finalist online magazine that Locus online credits with “revive(ing)... secondary-world fantasy as a respectable subgenre of short fiction, raising it from the midden of disdain into which it had been cast by most of the rest of the field.”

It includes “The Punctuality Machine, Or, A Steampunk Libretto” by Bill Powell, a finalist for the Parsec Awards, and “Grandmother-nai-Leylit’s Cloth of Winds” by Rose Lemberg, a finalist for the Nebula Awards.
