Five short stories that fit in the 'swords and sorcery' sub-genre. Two excellent, two good and one OK. My favorites were Parting Gifts, a story about a Rodmistress (a type of witch) called by the Goddess to fight once last fight against the Shadow and The Dry Season, about the occupation of a town, and a new commander arrives just five days before a sacrifice will be made.
