"Hilltown"by Bill RogersWelcome to the End of the World! Welcome to Hilltown, last stop before the endless Sea. Here, a thousand years after the starship Carpathia crashed, descendants of the castaways have built themselves a trim little village that would be comfortable—if only something else didn't wander the streets at night. Welcome to the realm of Dean Lansen, the flannel-shirted Thirty-Third Lord Protector. Welcome to a town populated by seekers, wanderers, and misfits, drawn by the dreams they don't understand. Welcome to life in the ashes of a world that has already been destroyed once… |

"The Kennaway Woman"by Daphne OlivierAs famine sweeps across Ireland, Nora O'Neal clings to hope that her lover in America will send for her. Devastated by news that he has married to someone else, she turns to the Kennaway Scheme as her only hope of survival. The plan to send a shipload of destitute women to South Africa on board the Kennaway appears a godsend, but Nora soon discovers a drawback. On arrival, the women are destined to marry German Legionnaires, men settled on land granted to them in the Eastern Cape after the Crimean war. Nora is horrified at the thought of marrying a stranger but must face the fact that the alternative is starvation. Or life in a whorehouse. When the Kennaway docks in Dublin, she joins the crowd waiting to board. Soon after landing in East London, Nora meets and marries Johan Detmann, one of the many men seeking a wife. As the pair travel along the lonely road toward her new home, she wonders what lies ahead, unaware that she is about to enter a land troubled by famine, hardships, uprisings and bloody Frontier wars. |

"Savagery"by C. A. WitheyThe world can be such a cruel place-especially if you're an anthropomorphic combatant forced to fight and kill in an arena for the entertainment of your bloodthirsty Slaver masters, or one of a dozen furred concubine slaves for an oppressive master. Everley the bullkin gladiator, the felinekin sisters Portia and Fayre, and one silent harekin monk Velius will have to learn to live in the wild, and with each other, if they're to survive the wilderness and escape their enemies outside the walls of Stonetide. |
