Download In the Halls of the Sky-Palace: Gold Edition AudioBook Free
A mysterious presence stalks the hallways of the Sky-King's palace, stealing dreams and condemning the king's dancers to a full time income death. The task of unraveling this puzzle falls to young Aesva, the previous living bearer of the Product. But she is young; inexperienced; and the girl most in a position to assist her has already passed on. Only Aesva can see the heartfires that flicker in the souls of the king's dancers. Only she is aware that the heartfires are vanishing. Eager to safeguard her loved ones, aided by a cadre of timid, silver-furred tamarins, Aesva must find a way to avoid the unseen soul-thief that strolls within the halls of the Sky-Palace. This short story was formerly posted in Jim Baen's Universe and was suggested for a Nebula Award. The Gold Edition includes an author's note describing the origins of the storyplot and the thematic underpinnings which give it interpretation. Ms. Fulda talks about the genesis of the tamarins, the goal of the Khondui, and her personal interpretation of the story's situations.
