Fairies have always enchanted children. Here is a twist on the nice fairies everyone knows.I was sitting around looking over some old files. You know how it is, like junk you've got to clean out of the attic, basement, or garage. It kinda put me in the mood to pull the wings off some flies. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to catch flies anymore, plus it's winter in Texas. I found an old short story I wrote for Renee several years ago when she was compiling An Anthology of Modern Fairy Tales #1. Loki was the only one around with wings so I pulled them! Enjoy!

Drugi deo Sage o vešcu
Međunarodni bestseler serijal prema kojem je osmišljena planetarno popularna kompjuterska igra The Witcher
Mač sudbine se sastoji od šest dužih priča i s Poslednjom željom predstavlja osnov za bolje razumevanje serijala Saga o vešcu. Zbirka pripovedaka nastala je prepričavanjem nekih od najpoznatijih narodnih bajki kojima su pridodati elementi strave i užasa. I dok se u pojedinim pričama, naročito u prvoj (Granice mogućnosti), obrađuju bajkoviti fantastični motivi, u većini priča produbljuju se međuljudski odnosi, kao i odnosi među raznolikim bićima, likovima čije se sudbine razvijaju u nastavku serijala.
Mač sudbine je druga od sedam knjiga Sage o vešcu, koju sačinjavaju dve zbirke pripovedaka i pet romana. Saga je postala bestseler ne samo u autorovoj rodnoj Poljskoj već i širom sveta. Prevedena je na brojne svetske jezike, a na osnovu nje su nastale TV serija i čuvena kompjuterska igra The Witcher.
„Priče Sapkovskog obnovile su žanr fantastike spajajući fikciju i stvarnost i mešajući ga s mitologijom i bajkama slovenskih naroda.“
