Even in Valdemar, duty and danger sometimes come with a side of chaos.
Shenanigans, the sixteenth anthology set in Mercedes Lackey’s legendary fantasy realm, features original stories from debut and established authors—plus a brand-new tale by Lackey herself. These short stories explore the lighter, cleverer, and more mischievous moments that arise when Heralds, Healers, Bards, and Companions face the unexpected.
From diplomatic blunders and magical pranks to creative problem-solving and unlikely alliances, this collection reveals a more playful side of Valdemar. But make no mistake—just because it’s funny doesn’t mean it isn’t heroic.
Whether it’s laughter in the face of peril or unconventional victories, Shenanigans proves that even the most serious heroes need a good story to tell around the fire.
