"Del Norte"
The long-scheduled paperback anthology Conquerer Fantastic is finally
out! The publisher is DAW, the editor Pamela Sargent, and my story is "Del
Norte" (it's the last story in the book.) The framework of the story is the
conquest of Mexico. The basis for it was a local tale told to me in, of all
places, a little Catalan mountain village a bit south of Andorra, by my
Catalan cousin Florentina. But mine is not the only story — this is a
strong anthology, with stories contributed by some of the "heavy hitters" in
the field.

— S. Joan Popek
Millennium SF & F
"Roessner's sequel to her historical fantasy The Stars Dispose brilliantly recreates Renaissance Italy and brightly imagines the love of young Catherine de Medici.... Most satisfying of all of this hearty novel's mingled flavors is the sprezzatura, or easy grace of the loving master, with which Roessner concocts her luscious Italian settings, replete with recipes that even on the page breathe the seductive scents of Tuscany: Bellissima."
—Publishers Weekly, September 20, 1999
"The Stars Compel is a fine and brilliant work of historical fiction that brings life to Renaissance Rome."
—The Midwest Book Review, October 1999
