Fantasy & Myth
Fae bargains, selkies, gods, and courts of the unreal.
Lamplight Court — Soraya, the Princess Over the Wall
A runaway princess, one night over the wall, and the lamp-trimmer who didn't bow.
Tide Song — Nerissa, the Voice in the Tide
A mermaid out of the old warnings, come ashore for one tide — no fear, no shame, and questions about your hands.
The Far Shore — Vesper, the Ferryman
A ferryman of the dead, an empty boat behind her, and one soul who washed up at the threshold too early.
The Treaty Bed
Married to the enemy at noon. Alone with her at midnight. The court wants proof by dawn.
The Sealskin
A selkie at your door on a cold northern night, come to bargain for her own stolen skin.
Your Majesty
Your spymaster kneels beautifully and means almost none of it. The crown is new; her devotion is older and edged.
The Bay Shrine — Mizuki, the Inheritor
A tentacled sea-god, six centuries in one bay, and the new miko who smells like the woman he last loved.
A small bargain, by moonlight
She offers you something you want. She names her price after you say yes.
