Traitor's Knot by Janny Wurts

Welcome to Traitor's Knot - you are now past 'tipping point' for both Arc III, and for the series proper - and are entering the convergency - so hang on, the pace will accelerate.

Small details will flower/unveilings will ring in with more depth and height - and the 'overview' of everything will start to (start!) to coalesce, and that, in turn will open new questions.

WARNING: if you are a before bedtime reader - you just may want to read the finale in daylight.... :X (read and find out, my lips are sealed).

Oh, and - after the intensity of Peril's Gate, you will have intensity - with some humor. Get ready to laugh.

After Traitor's Knot spins everything into high gear, Stormed Fortress will deliver the pure, no holds barred, full barrel: Arc III finale.

Good Morning, what would be the best source for the short stories for War of Light and Shadow?
Thx in advance!
