The Highlanders of the Upper Lands, seemingly ordinary peasants, have magical powers, both beneficial and dangerous. But they are unable to escape from want and live in constant fear: what if one family turns its ruinous gift against the other?... The peaceful city of Ansul prided itself on its libraries, schools, and temples, until it was overrun by the Aldes, fanatical demon-fighting barbarians. Considering culture a demonic obsession, they even forbade reading and writing on pain of death. But a man who was imprisoned and tortured for a year managed to save a few precious books... Young Gavir foresees the future, but cannot prevent the catastrophe that threatens his world - the world in which he grew up a slave. Finding the freedom he never wanted, he sets off into the unknown... The novel Voices, included in the collection, won the 2005 PEN American Center Award, and the novel Epiphany won the 2008 Nebula Award.
