For those who want the print version of the Weeping Willow Series, this book will contain the original Weeping Willow stories as well as a new story entitled Wicked Chemistry. While reading the original shorts is essential to understanding the novels, reading the Wicked Chemistry short is not needed for understanding the follow up novels, Wicked Magic and Wicked Love, but it will be a glimpse into the lives of Willow and Nalin before the journey read in Wicked Magic.
