Go back to before the beginning, with New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Moon's brand new collection of short stories set in the world of Paksenarrion, featuring beloved Paksworld characters alongside unknown future favorites, as they navigate all the challenges, opportunities, failures, and triumphs inherent in the deeds (and misdeeds) of their youth. Spanning from a time predating the events in Deed of Paksenarrion through to the Paladin's Legacy years, the tales in Deeds of Youth have been revised and updated for this special compilation, which features all-new introductions from the author, as well as a previously unpublished short story exclusive to this volume! Told with Elizabeth Moon's trademark wit, empathy, and warmth, the seven stories in Deeds of Youth will not only appeal to Paksworld fans wanting to re-immerse themselves in Moon's lush worldbuilding and masterful storytelling, but will also make a wonderful entry point for readers new to the Paksenarrion saga.
