It’s a Brandon Sanderson and Raymond E Feist sandwich!

Our new release fantasy anthology, The Law of Consequences, is currently in the 17th spot on Amazon UK’s Best Sellers in Fantasy Anthologies chart, which I might not have mentioned if not for the fact it’s positioned us right between Brandon Sanderson’s first collection of short fiction and Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Saga trilogy!
