Edition Note:
This edition of Unfettered is signed by all contributors and is limited to 100 copies. It is not considered one of the 500 Signed & Numbered copies as the numbered line on the signature page has been stamped out with the image of a key. The book features a ribbon and is made with the finest quality materials but it is not leather-bound and does not come slipcased. The dust jacket features the beautiful dragon artwork of Todd Lockwood without overlaid text.
A great edition though for those who missed out on the Signed & Numbered edition.
Book Description:
You define life or it defines you.
In Shawn Speakman's case, it was both.
Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hogdkin's lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story Shawn could sell toward alleviating those bills—and suggested Shawn ask the same of his other friends.
Unfettered is the result, an anthology built to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.
Every story in this volume is new and, like the title suggests, the writers were free to write whatever they wished. Here is the list of contributing authors for Unfettered:
With the help of stalwart friends and these wonderful short stories, Shawn has taken the gravest of life hardships and created something magical. Unfettered is not only a fantastic anthology in its own right but it's a testament to the generosity found in the science fiction and fantasy community—proof that humanity can give beyond itself when the need arises.
After all, isn't that the driving narrative in fantasy literature?
