The Dying Earth

On an Earth so ancient the sun has dimmed to a guttering red, the last sorcerers guard a dwindling supply of spells, each one a relic from a science the world has long forgotten. The Dying Earth gathers linked tales of magicians, adventurers, and seekers crossing a land littered with the ruins of vanished civilizations. Turjan of Miir labors to create life. The deodand-haunted forests hide both treasure and death. T'sais, made without the capacity to perceive beauty, walks the world hunting for what she cannot feel. Vance binds these wanderers into a single mood of elegant decay, where every spell is precious and every traveler walks under a sun that may not rise again.
