"The stories are all crafted with the deft and loving touch of an author who knows firsthand what it is to live in their characters' skins. Each piece in this unmissable collection shimmers with bright explorations of love, loss, and the quest for hope."

-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW

Set aside traditional norms and the gender binary in this updated collection of twenty-two stories by Nebula Award finalist Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.

Here you'll find robots and cyborgs exploring their own forms of personhood; lose yourself in wildly imaginative landscapes and dystopian worlds; follow assassins, sentient shadows, sorrowful ghosts, and all forms of monsters. Dare to feel everything-from the brightest joy to sorrow and the rainbow of emotion in between.

Yet remember: even in the darkest moments, there will always be hope.
