A fate-reading dancer struggles to make her most important vision come true, four outcast shamans are summoned to a green pyramid. Before Saint's Summit contains two novellas: The Battle Dancer and an extended edition of The Ascenders. An earlier version of each won an honorable mention from the Writers of the Future contest. Please note: Neither novella fully resolves on its own-they're meant as lead-ins to The Red Wraith, a historical fantasy set in a magical version of Early America.
