I think I hate rain. Not for the chill nor the clouds that bring it forth, not for the damp, nor even the crash of the pagan thunder-god's hammer in the sky. I hate what happens in the rain.

As Will follows Goldie into a strange faery world he never dreamed existed, he must confront his ghosts in order to defeat the menace which threatens both the mundane and magical realms. In bridging the divides between pagan and Christian, war and love, redemption and vengeance, the two of them quickly become fast companions. But all is not as it seems: faery gifts oft come poisoned, and the choices of love have a price...

Autorenporträt
Emmylou Kotzé is a writer and poet who also runs The Pink Hydra, an online magazine publishing stories of unreality. The name of her birthplace-Mangaung, South Africa-translates as "The Place of the Cheetah," which may help explain her lifelong fondness for mystic felines. In high school, she discovered American fantasy writers such as Robert A. Heinlein and Mercedes Lackey, and the rest is history.

You can read her first published Nico & Fish story, What Makes A Man... in Cloaked Press' Fall Into Fantasy 2024 anthology on September 21, and a second, A Tale of Two Killers, will appear in Dirty Magick Magazine in May 2025
