In the sequel to Tales of the Fates, the Fates return, and bring their fabulous cousins, the Graces.             The Fates govern the life threads of mortals and immortals alike. Usually, they dominate the top of the immortal hierarchy. Most humans tremble before them. Even most gods and goddesses fear the Fates.             But not their cousins, the Graces. Somehow, the Graces surprise even the Fates when they make a play to affect a human's destiny, or want to get involved in mortal matters . . .             These five original fantasy stories—first published here—explore the magical adventures of the Graces and their cousins, the Fates (with a story of Rapunzel thrown in):             Cousins to the Fates reveals what happens when Atty and the other Fates agree to a meeting with the Graces . . . who bring very different ideas than what the Fates believe about grace and destiny.             In A Day in the Life of the Graces, Bright prepares to help out with the aftermath of a hurricane, with no idea of what issues await her.             In The Longshot Heir, Rapunzel's Mother leaves unexpectedly for town, leaving Rapunzel to make an unexpected discovery.             In The Graces of Apollo, Apollo plays unwitting host to divine guests that bring a strange request.             In The Crush of a Fate, Atty takes time alone to think through an important personal matter with significant repercussions.
