House Rules
(Author) George R.R. MartinA stunning anthology of connected tales set in Wild Cards universe created by the global bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. The island of Keun lies off the coast of Cornwall, connected to the mainland only by an ancient, tidal causeway. It is a magical place, where anything can happen. The mansion crowning the island is owned by Lord Branok, a mysterious billionaire who is also a wild card of some sort--but whether he is an ace, a joker or a knave, no one is quite sure. Parties at Loveday House are legendary - for adventure, for intrigue, for love, for danger - and guests may take on whatever personae and masks they choose when they attend. Parts of the house seem to exist out of time, and the Wild Hunt is reputed to ride the island. And haunting the house is its original owner: a woman determined to regain control over her domain, by any means necessary. This third volume in The British Arc (following Knaves Over Queens and Three Kings) includes stories by: Stephen Leigh, Mary Anne Mohanraj, Caroline Spector, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Peter Newman, and Peadar Ó Guilín.
