About this eBook
The World Fantasy Award–winning anthology featuring an original Game of Thrones novella and new stories from Diana Gabaldon, Jim Butcher, and many more.
The twenty-one stories in Dangerous Women showcase some of the best and bravest female characters from across genre fiction—from women warriors and fighter pilots to female serial killers, superheroes, wizards, and bandits.
With work from twelve New York Times bestsellers, readers will discover a new Outlander story by Diana Gabaldon, a tale of Harry Dresden’s world by Jim Butcher, a story from Lev Grossman set in the world of The Magicians, and an original novella by George R. R. Martin about the Dance of the Dragons, the vast civil war that tore Westeros apart nearly two centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones.
Also included are original stories of dangerous women—heroines and villains alike—by Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lawrence Block, Carrie Vaughn, S. M. Stirling, Sharon Kay Penman, and many others.

If you, like I, bought this book just to read the "The Princess and the Queen" You will not be disappointed. GRRM gives us a massive war waged on the wings of dragons. It gives us a look into the culture of Targaryens when dragons ran abundant.

I bought this just for the Brandon Sanderson story but loved many of the stories. This anthology introduced me to the Dresden world, Lev Grossman's Magicians, and convinced me to finally get A Game of Thrones.
