Every summer comes the raiding season. Every summer, a fleet of intrepid longships strikes out across the indomitable Sea of Rage, their swords of conquest pointed eastward, toward the soft and sackable shorelands. Every summer, thousands of fearless marauders brave the voyage across the domain of Rán, mercurial goddess of the sea. Some are struck down by storms. Others are sunk by sea serpents. Only one ship attracts the vengeful eye of the Robber Queen herself.

The Robber Queen's Net is a Viking myth about dragons, sea gods and fierce warrior-women. While a standalone work, it is counted as Volume Five in the Year of the Horse Anthology, a collection of monthly short stories by Timothy J. Meyer, released in 2014.
