Journey through time and space to alternate worlds and the near future in a beautiful collection of interconnected short stories.

In the title story, Wurts poignantly addresses mortality and what it is to wish. Sandy is in the last throes of life with one final request: she dreams desperately of a visit to the Round Table of King Arthur - an impossible ask, but one which is about to be realized...

In Dreambridge, the last tree linking this world to the world of the feys has been brutally attacked. Kirelle, apprentice healer, has been chosen to seek revenge on the humans who thoughtlessly attempted to destroy this sacred tie. But can they be made to understand the gravity of their actions?

In Wurts' brilliant Fleet stories, we follow the fortunes and misfortunes of Michael Christopher Jensen Jr. and his numerous encounters with the space-pirate MacKenzie James - a relationship that will leave you wondering who the villain really is.
