The Gift of Magic
by Sharon Lee
Archers Beach is a more-than-slightly battered resort town on the coast of Maine, but there's something a little bit special about it. Magic works there, sort-of, and the trenvay—the beings that guard the land and the people—work their own kind of enchantment. Includes two short stories, "The Gift of Music," and "The night don't seem so lonely." Both stories were previously published at Baen.com
