This first volume of Queer Sky contains four short stories, an epic fantasy novella and the first three chapters of an upcoming novella.
The River in the Sky
The city has fallen. Soldiers march through the streets searching for anyone important. The royal family and council have been evacuated.
Except Cassaline didn't leave when she was meant to. And now has information that could save or doom her city. The only way out is based on a legend from a millennia ago when Heroes walked the paths of the spirit realm. Those legendary heroes had knowledge and spirit guides while Casa has neither.
She's willing to die to save her home but is death the same in the spirit realm.
Dragon Peace
Dragons once ruled the world. Then humans ruled. Now neither do. The remains of the human empire lay scattered as do the dragons who destroyed it.
In the village of Hilltop Mal discovers an egg. She nurtures the dragon hatchling and finds peace away from the struggles of her village.
Until her father demands the dragon killed and threatens to report her to the guards. Mal's only choice is to run.
Except surviving for a short time in the wilds is very different from spending the rest of her life there.
Copy and Paste
The witches' enclave survives in seclusion from the modern world. They learned their lesson about helping humans centuries before when many were killed. Young witches are still sent for short periods of time as students. But they are expected to return and take their place in the coven.
Jess has the magic to help people but is forbidden from doing so. When a crime happens in front of her the temptation is too great to ignore.
However wanting to help and actually being able to are two very different things.
Transporter
At the edge of the galaxy an endless war rages. Every resource of the empire is dedicated to the war machine. Those who resist the draft live as scavengers between the front lines and empire controlled space.
Tak survives by raiding damaged abandoned ships retreating from battle. With her partner in crime Jer they strip the ships of any tech they can. But in the middle of a raid a military ship docks. And communications have been cut.
Tak needs to find Jer and warn them of the danger before the enforcers find them.
The Warrior's Way
In a world where warriors are revered as living legends. They fight back the monsters threatening the peace and deliver justice upon the people. Whether it's wanted or not.
Lyssa searches for redemption in the only way she knows how. As a warrior willing to die in battle to save others. Her journey as an exile takes her far from home. To lands she knows very little about.
So when she hears screaming she charges into battle. Except the enemies are ordinary villagers who are doing the work of their god. To them using unwilling sacrifices is not an evil act. But Lyssa has already seen where this road leads.
Slaughtering villagers will not redeem her of past sins, but if she does nothing innocents die.
The warrior's way is the first novella in a gripping fantasy adventure series set in a world of gods and monsters, where magic is untamed and the old ways are lost.
Bandit Road (The Warrior's Way #2)
Lyssa reluctantly agrees to be the warrior of Hulna. She protects the village from bandits and in return she has food and board. She could get used to this simple easy way of life.
But her desire for redemption urges her to move on. Leading these people to fight back would be repeating the mistakes of her past.
As she tries to make a quiet exit a cry for help has her jumping back in.
