Nana Yamashita has been an absolute trainwreck ever since her girlfriend went missing nearly a year ago. She can barely remember who she was before that fateful morning when she woke up and realized that something had gone horribly wrong. Stuck in the memories of her old relationship, she can't move on. She hardly sees the point of breaking the monotonous loop of her tepid life in California when everything good about living has been taken away. But her mother's new marriage to a businessman in Tokyo forces her to snap out of it. Before she can catch her breath, she's thrust into the eccentric world of the Watanabe family and forced to befriend her new sister. Too bad the only daughter of the Watanabe family isn't interested in being nice to her. It doesn't help that she reminds Nana of her missing girlfriend. When new details about her ex's disappearance are uncovered, Nana must choose between staying in the past or moving forward into an uncertain future.

Lorelei is a timid, passive mermaid princess of Baltica, a tiny merfolk kingdom in the cool, brackish Northeastern Ocean. Nixie, her beautiful Tailmaiden(or in human terms, handmaiden), hides a humiliating secret. This is the tale(tail?) of two very different mermaids, told in alternating perspectives. A loose retelling of The Goose Girl by the Brothers Grimm with mermaids, set in the same whimsical and detailed mermaid universe as Kae-Leah Williamson's previous novellas, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Formerly Known As "A Tailmaiden's Tale"

(Posting to RoyalRoad as well) After the destruction of her native city, Ilati must find a way forward to make a new life and avenge the fallen, shedding her old life as high priestess of the goddess of love like a snake leaves its skin. But with a sorcerer at her shoulder that she isn't certain she can trust, a charioteer with a dark curse, a nomadic warrior with a child who is not dead and not alive, and the Mother of Demons herself involved-can she survive?
