Chance and Other Gestures of the Hand of Fate

In the fastnesses of the forest called Wirral, strange beings make their ancient home. They are called the Denizens by those who dare to speak of them at all. They are not human – and their weapons are far deadler than the axes of those who intrude upon their domain, as Chance the forester discovers to his sorrow.... Plus seven stories never before in book form – including the Nebula Award finalist, "The Boy Who Plaited Manes".
