    Summary

    Ruan Mei’s life is nothing short of disastrous. Her research is underfunded, her career stagnant, and, to make matters worse, she’s fresh out of an engagement she never even wanted.

    The solution to all her problems comes in an offer too perfect to refuse: a blank check, unlimited lab access, and full creative freedom.

    Sounds ideal. Except for the small detail that she has to marry the woman offering it.

    Summary

    Sage's recipe for the perfect vacation: a fancy beach-side resort with only one room left, a few museums, many restaurants and, of course, the hot coworker who has a six-years old grudge against her.

    Summary

    After a lifetime spent dealing in secrets, Nefer has perfected the art of control—her emotions, her image, even the dangerous truth of what she really is.

    Lauma cares not for that illusion.

    Lauma is everything Nefer isn’t: open where she is guarded, sincere where she is calculating, and utterly impossible to read. What begins as intrigue grows into intimacy, and two creatures marked by divine strangeness find in one another the kind of understanding they had long forgotten was possible.

    Summary

    Shenhe is walking along the water’s edge when she first hears Yun Jin’s voice. Or --- a story of one halcyon spring, one sweet songbird, and finding home.

    It is not mere acting that draws your half-lidded eyes to the teahouse, nor the fluttering flags mimicking the movement of flames. It is metamorphosis, plain and simple. 

    The central figure onstage has shed their form: renouncing their identity to play the part of the dan. They straighten with the regal bearing of an empress. With a flourish of her fan, she displays a cunning nature — fit to outpace the second-rate schemes of covetous concubines with ease. She lowers her lashes to suit the whims of a coquettish courtesan, coyly hides her face behind the folds of her flowing sleeves. 

    When she emerges, they whirl about her like woven wings.

    Summary

    Lauma’s eyes shimmer under the strange, unnatural light of the cavern where Columbina has been kept prisoner. “Then allow me,” she says, her voice strange and thick. “If someone must assist, let it be me.”

    Columbina is lonely in her sanctuary. Lauma pays her a visit.
