Harry R. Campion. The Heartsmith’s Daughters. (Fantasy & Science Fiction July/Aug 2013)
Excellent dark fantasy tale of love, and just how the strength of love can be. A blacksmith has promised is wife daughters, and has to take matters into his own smithy hands, when time is against him. And the daughters he fashions are to protect his wife. It’s a well-wrought, poetic story, with a feeling of an old English folk song.
