Witcher, Warrior, Scholar, Spy by Allora Lee
“They want new terms to protect the Grotto. They say the risk of a Godling grows larger every Darkening.” Mara’s voice had shaken, but Kuala was already wrapping her hand around the princess’s palm.
“There are centuries before it’ll descend again. It won’t be a problem for your reign.” Kuala said, sure in the knowledge.
What a fool she’d been.
Mr. Elsher by J.H. Sims
Missing pieces of myself are left back in Tacoma. I'm finding new ones within the wildflowers and mossy stones of Tye. I'm finding new pieces in the places where I've left myself last.
Left myself? I'm still here.
Court of Fiends by Tamsin Hawthorn
Her nature… it was not good. It was a wicked sort of nature that preferred a book of secret magick to a ballroom and a pair of cold, inhuman eyes to a kind gentleman.
Fractured Alliances by Twyla Menezes
"Only together. Never apart."
The light flared. One figure reached forward, cradling the other's cheek. Their eyes met, one weeping silver, the other bleeding shadow, and then the scene fractured.
A scream echoed, not of pain, but of separation.
The charm split.
And everything turned to ash.
The Corpse Collectors by Caitlin Regencia
She may not feel like doing much, but making offerings for the people that had filled her childhood with love, laughter, and magic was something she could do. Should do. She had everything she needed, and no one wanted unhappy spirits flying around their home all night. And so, she got up, went back into the kitchen, poured herself a glass of honey mead, and got on with it.
