Nami

by Reis Asher

The Empire is sweeping the land, taking cities and towns by force. Nami, a young priest dedicated to the Goddess Ceres, is ready to sacrifice himself as Numidia falls, but his slave, lover, and protector Avan saves Nami from the temple flames against his will.

Alive and outraged, Nami travels to the city of Gran Terra to consult the Great Temple, but Avan’s love is changing Nami’s worldview. When he sees the Great Temple has become a hive of greed and indulgence, he challenges the idea of dying for a deity. However, the High Priest has another idea, and Nami will have to find every ounce of strength inside himself if he’s to escape the Temple alive with Avan by his side.

About the author

Reis Asher lives in rural Pennsylvania with his husband and 3 cats. He is the author of the nonbinary thriller Killing Games, published by NineStar Press, and the Nick Fabian series of transgender detective novels. He is transgender and bisexual, and doing his best in these tough times.

He chose his pen-name based on the main character in Killing Games, and owns the fact that it's probably cringe to name oneself after a fictional character. So of course, he did it twice.

Catch him on Bluesky @landale.bsky.social where he's happy to interact. He's no longer on the Social Media Website Formerly Known as Twitter because he needs to preserve what little sanity he has left.
