Macha just wanted her mother dead. Was that really too much to ask? Tossed out on her ass into the Outerlands as a little girl for being a bastard. Yea that came with some trauma and long lasting issues but she worked through all that. Really. Sure, she may like blood and war a little more that was normal but come on! She's an Unseelie Fae, she was practically born this way. After a long exciting journey she organized *cough* conquered *cough* the Outerlands into a functioning society. Into the Kingdom of the Banished Fae with her ruling as their rightful Queen and everything was great for a time. Truly. Until her birthmother decided that she didn't deserve to be Queen of anything which ended with them battling it out and Macha getting tossed into a maximum security prison. Bummer. Now having escaped prison, Macha is dealing with the fact that very old feelings for a certain asshat are springing back up like a bad joke and that she must rebuild her entire kingdom. But she has to do it right this time and that means telling her people who she really is if she wants them to follow her into a war against her mother. A woman who refuses to let Macha be and plans to wipe her entire existence from fae history. Again, Macha really really just wanted this bitch dead but it was turning out to be a lot harder than she thought. *Cover is made by me but I have no rights to the picture itself.

🏆 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATTYS 2025 🏆 In Bizanth, holiness is enforced with fire, and peace is treated as heresy. The Empire is rotting from within: crushed beneath endless war, religious fanaticism, and the weight of its own contradictions. After the death of the Red Emperor, the throne passes to a young Empress who dares to speak of peace - while priests, nobles, and generals sharpen their knives behind her back. To negotiate a truce with the Arya - mountain warriors the Empire has failed to conquer for decades - they send the worst possible person. Lyn is the Archon of This World: a living religious symbol, a washed-up preacher, a former brothel accountant, and an alcoholic barely holding himself together. Cynical, exhausted, and haunted by secrets he cannot escape, he is far more useful as a scapegoat than a diplomat. But the deeper Lyn is drawn into enemy territory, political conspiracies, and the machinery of holy war, the more dangerous everything becomes - especially his growing connection with one of the very people he was taught to hate. Because in Bizanth, love can be more heretical than violence. A Bone From a Bird's Wing is a dark historical fantasy about war, faith, power, trauma, and the slow collapse of empires - perfect for readers who enjoy political fantasy, queer slow burns, morally complicated characters, and anti-war stories steeped in religious intrigue. *** The author had no intention of offending any existing religions or cultures. Bizanth can, with some effort, be loosely associated with Byzantium around the 6th-7th centuries, and Arya (with even more difficulty) with one of the pre-Islamic Iranian peoples, but for the most part, their culture and beliefs are fictional. This text has little to do with history; it contains elements of postmodernism and irony.
