The Inheritance (short story collection)

[Mervi]

This is pure speculation, but I'm wondering if there's some sort of a copyright issue with republishing the Ki & Vandien stories ([[Bones for Dulath]] and [[the Small One]]). I remember someone asking Robin once if there would be more Ki and Vandien stories and she replied something like she'd love to write about them if a good story came to her, but that those characters belong to Ace (the US publisher of [[Harpy's Flight]] etc) so it might be complicated. But this is from my unreliable memory (I could very well be mixing things up with the [[Liavek]] characters), so don't treat it as gospel. It's funny though, because those two shorts were never published by Ace - Bones has only been released by DAW and the Small One has only ever appeared in an unrelated magazine - and the four novels have been published in the UK by HarperCollins.

I've been trying to spice up the wiki articles about the Inheritance stories today, but it's so hard to write story summaries - I don't want to spoil them, and with short stories that is particularly difficult!
