And the Hobb/Lindholm collection is called…
29 Dec, 2009 filed under: Robin Hobb, Megan Lindholm
… The Inheritance! This is the much awaited collection of stories from Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm, both previously published and completely new ones.

The title seems to imply that it does include a very rare existing story set in the Realm of the Elderlings, The Inheritance, which has previously been available only in a promotional limited edition anthology and as as an Amazon.com short
