I love Patricia Brigg's novels and short stories and I waited as long as I could, hoping I'd get a copy of this anthology from PBS. Finally gave up and bought it - so it's a win-win! I get to read it and so do PBS members!
If you're a Mercy or Alpha and Omega fan, you're in for so many treats, it's like a smorgasbord. 4 completely new short stories: Silver (the origin story for Samuel and Ariana), Roses in Winter (Asil, the very old werewolf now living at the Marrok's compound), Redemption (the werewolf Ben from Moon Called gets his own story) and Hollow (a Mercy Thompson story). There's also two outtakes from Silver Borne and Night Broken that revisit the stories from another character's perspective. I loved all the new stuff and re-read all the older stories (who doesn't like to re-read Alpha and Omega?) - they're all very satisfying if you're already a fan and hella fun if you've just discovered Briggs.
