In this companion novel of the World Fantasy Award finalist Water, two master fantasy authors set the world of story ablaze!

“This collection of beautifully crafted tales will find a warm welcome from fans of either author, as well as from fantasy readers in general.”—School Library Journal

“These are stories of creatures that live and die by fire, tales of hope and acceptance that span the ages, from the present to the distant past.”—VOYA

After Water comes Fire—five stories from Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson about the necessary yet dangerous element. In these tales, a boy and his dog are unexpected guests on a dragonrider’s first flight. A slave saves his village with a fiery magic spell. A girl’s new friend, the guardian of a mystical bird, is much older than he appears. A young man walks the spirit world to defeat a fireworm. A mysterious dog is a key player in an eerie graveyard showdown. These five short stories are full of magic, mystery, and wonder.

“In this companion to Water, McKinley and Dickinson explore the range of their storytelling abilities. The settings of these five tales range from ancient to modern, but they are all united by encounters with magical creatures with an affinity for fire. . . . This collection of beautifully crafted tales will find a warm welcome from fans of either author, as well as from fantasy readers in general.”—School Library Journal

“The two writers’ talents are well matched, creating a volume that’s even in tone and quality while introducing novelty with every story opening.”—The Horn Book

“These are stories of creatures that live and die by fire, tales of hope and acceptance that span the ages, from the present to the distant past. They are stories that will stay with readers long after they have read the final sentence. Dickinson and McKinley are known for their powerful stories, and this [collection] does not disappoint.”—VOYA
