Loneliness and queer desire haunt these stories, and as often as there is despair, there is hope. Gods, dragon keepers, death witches, seekers, and lovers reach for intimacy and find startling answers. In “On Lore,” a woman tries to save her girlfriend from the allure of nightmares. “In Our Season” finds a couple vacationing in Iceland's fairytale summer only to be confronted with the emotional pain of its winters. A woman who lives her life covered in snakes grieves her mother's death, and a girl with moonstone eyes plots a desperate escape from Earth. Poison becomes liberation. Kisses are most transformative when they draw blood. These stories are glittering pieces of sapphic fantasy, each served like red fruit on a black mirror.

A new Queer, Asian-inspired fantasy novella about a renowned dragon slayer who never takes her armor off in public, Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame reads like She Who Became the Sun meets The Mandalorian, with dragons!The fiercely independent nation of Quanbao is isolated, reclusive, and something of a mystery to the rest of the world. It is rumored that there, dragons are not feared as is right and proper but instead loved and worshiped.Yeva is perhaps a strange emissary to these people. Not only because their face has never been seen in public, but because they are a hero born to a birthright that makes them suited for their task—hunting dragons.And so the dragon hunter must woo Quanbao's queen—the Lady Sookhee—to understand what secrets she is hiding. A woman reasonably suspicious of Yeva's intentions, and the imperial might of the throne she represents, Sookhee bears the burden of the safety of her entire people. How can she trust this stranger newly arrived to her court, a weapon forged in blood and fire, to understand what her people need and how best to safeguard their future?At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
