In addition to twenty-one novels (and counting), Lee and Miller have written dozens of shorter works based in the Liaden Universe®, featuring the strong characterization, detailed worldbuilding, wit, and derring-do that readers of the series adore.  Sure to delight longtime fans and newcomers alike, these tales highlight why the nationally best-selling Liaden Universe® novels are treasured by space opera aficionados, with amazing settings, strong characterizations, compelling romance, and edge-of-the-chair action in stories that range from cosmic to comic.   Praise for A Liaden Constellation, Volume 1: “This series [is] . . . the premier place to find good romantic SF adventure. . . . strong characters finding their own way (and, often, each other) in an action-packed galaxy of worlds. . . . Every story stands on its own; readers don’t have to be familiar with the Liaden universe. Those who have had the pleasure, though, will find many connections to existing tales.” —Analog  Praise for The Liaden Universe®:  “As always, this intelligent space opera focuses on matters of manners, honor, duty, and clever repartee; violence is rarely the solution, and subtlety wins out over overt force. . . .

Pursued by enemies, exiled Liaden clan Korval is settling into a new base on backworld Surebleak. Moving is expensive, as is war, and Korval is strapped for cash. Delm Korval has therefore instructed Master Trader Shan yos'Galan to design and implement new trade routes, quickly.  But this is no easy task. Dutiful Passage is targeted by Korval's enemies, denied docking at respectable ports, and cheated at those less respectable. Struggling to recuperate from an attack on his life, while managing daughter Padi’s emerging psychic talents, Shan is running out of options—and time. His quest to establish the all-important trade route puts him at odds with his lifemate, while doubting crew desert the ship. Facing the prospect of failure, Shan accepts the assistance of chancy allies and turns the Passage toward a port only just emerging from Rostov's Dust and awash with strange energies.  Without trade, Clan Korval will starve. Will a trader's leap of faith save everything—or doom all?  About Dragon in Exile: “[S]prawling and satisfying. . . .

A people divided cannot thrive.  The Oracle has Seen the end of Civilization, and the end of the Haosa, too. Reactions to this are—mixed.  On the one hand, foresight is a notoriously erratic Gift. On the other, can Civilization—or the Haosa—afford to assume that the prophecy is an error?  And if the Oracle has Seen truly—is it possible to alter the future?  While well-meaning people struggle to implement change that might, at least, mitigate a disaster, others are looking toward the profit they can make from the end of the world.  In the meantime, the Tree-and-Dragon Trade Team has concluded its whole port inventory, and is about to propose Colemeno as a trade-hub and anchor to a brand-new route. Padi yos’Galan is preparing to step into new roles, personally, and in trade.  And the lives of two small children may be the thread that binds the future—or unravels it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51605915304209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51605915435281,"sku":"NIN9781668072523","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51605915500817,"sku":"NGR9781668072523","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694269858065,"sku":"CIN1668072521G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52902461276433,"sku":"CIN1668072521LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53074552979729,"sku":"GOR014728935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1668072521.jpg?v=1751247472"},{"product_id":"ribbon-dance-book-sharon-lee-9781668072653","title":"Ribbon Dance","description":"NEW ENTRY IN THE BEST-SELLING LIADEN UNIVERSE® SERIES  On a world where cake is a necessity it takes the Grid to protect the civilized and the deaf from the dire influences of the ambient and to keep the chaotic Haosa at bay.

Shan’s inner Healer insists Padi come to terms with her as-yet unplumbed psychic abilities, which might place her in the top tier of dramliz, if she can learn control.    Padi yearns to concentrate on trade, but Colemeno’s fey ambient and deadly long-term politics combine to bring her face-to-face with the Haosa, and in particular with the mysterious and untouchable Tekelia, as Korval’s trade mission’s necessity of a port audit collide with a cruel history of murder, deception, and brutality. Amid the dangers, Padi unexpectedly finds herself eagerly exploring her dramliz side when faced with the unspoken powers of the ambient, the sky-filling energy of the Ribbon Dance, and Tekelia’s mutable eyes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51605916287249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51605916516625,"sku":"NIN9781668072653","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51605916647697,"sku":"GOR014326443","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51688647131409,"sku":"CIN1668072653G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52902721257745,"sku":"CIN1668072653LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1668072653.jpg?v=1751377089"},{"product_id":"i-dare-book-sharon-lee-9781668073049","title":"I Dare","description":"Unexpected friends and enemies are pitted against each other in a war that spans planets and races—a war that threatens to bring interstellar violence to the very surface of fabled Liad.

Sie bemuht sich, ihre Vergangenheit auer Acht zu lassen. Dennoch spaziert sie ihr in den Jahren, in denen unweigerlich alle Rechnungen des Lebens zusammenlaufen, wie ein Strahl der fruhen Morgensonne nach dem Erwachen, ganz von allein und ungerufen in die Gedanken hinein ... Nach Jahren, die hinter ihr liegen, lebt sie glucklich und zufrieden mit sich selbst, irgendwo in den Hochalpen, in Norditalien. Der Weg gen Marchen fuhrte sie von einen kleinen Ortchen in Serbien uber Deutschland, dann erneut Serbien - in jenen schwierigsten Neunzigern - nach Italien und in die Straen Roms, wo sie dank humanitaren Organisationen uberleben konnte. Hinter ihr liegen eine Kindheit, in der sie nie wahre elterliche Liebe erfahren hatte, eine Ehe ohne die geringste Spur von Liebe, auerdem viel Pein, Erniedrigung und Leid, zwei Sohne - die einzigen Lichtpunkte ihrer Vergangenheit, grenzenlose Hingabe und etliche Traume ... Ihre Vergangenheit unterscheidet sich wahrscheinlich nicht sonderlich von anderen Lebensgeschichten der Frauen vom Balkan, aber ihre Gegenwart ist das, wovon viele dieser Frauen ewiglich traumen werden. Und zu eben diese Gegenwart kam sie, indem sie ihren Traumen folgte ... All ihre falschen Entscheidungen hat sie selber getroffen, ebenso kamen sie auch ihre Lebensfehler teuer zu stehen, aber sie hat sich alles, was sie heute ist, selber erkampft. Deswegen hegt sie keine groen Lebenstraume mehr. Heute ist sie eine Frau im besten Alter, die ihr Leben geniet ... Von diesem in einen kleinen Ort in Serbien geborenen Madchen hat sie einzig und allein den Namen und die Erinnerungen behalten.
