Political intrigue, religious factionalism, and the ever-present shadow of the alien, legendary sharrh form the substance of seven stories in this second volume of tales set in Cherryh's ''shared-world'' of Merovin. Interspersed among fragments of the title story by Cherryh, which features the heroine from Angel with a Sword, are contributions by Janet Morris, Lynn Abbey, Mercedes Lackey, Nancy Asire, and Leslie Fish. This collection of high-quality stories is recommended for sf collections. JC
