The Gift of Magic (Archers Beach)

Archers Beach is a more-than-slightly battered resort town on the coast of Maine, but there's something a little bit special about it. Magic works there, sort-of, and the trenvay--the beings that guard the land and the people--work their own kind of magic. Includes two short stories, "The Gift of Music," and "The night don't seem so lonely." Both stories were previously published at Baen.com
