These, and many other names were given to those who had the sight, who could look into the future and see what awaits us. Sometimes, those glimpses come unbidden and unasked for. Sometimes they are given for a fee. Sometimes they drive the recipient mad with the knowledge of what the future holds.

Seers and Sibyls is a collection of 30 stories and poems about those who have the power to see the future. Will you open the book and read their prophecies?
