For decades, George R.R. Martin – bestselling author of A Song of Ice and Fire and creator of A GAME OF THRONES – has collaborated with an ensemble of science fiction and fantasy icons to create the amazing Wild Cards universe.

Tales of Love & Lust from the World of the Wild Cards

An alien virus has ravaged the world. Survivors may draw an ace and receive superpowers, or the joker and become bizarrely mutated. And yet love still reigns supreme.

In this fantastical collection of all-new stories • A jewel thief seduces a popular actor just so she can track down a long-lost treasure • A teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail attempts to win his love • A man discovers his purpose in life after meeting a beautiful butterfly woman. • A young hero by the name of Hero McHeroface finds solace in the arms of an astrologer hiding her own unique powers

Superheroes and villains do battle over the human heart in this anthology set in the Wild Cards universe.
