When You Leashed Expect It:
Cynder is a hellhound on the run who has escaped his demon handlers thanks to his unpredictable orange cat shenanigans and sheer dumb luck. Morgan is a jaded, soul-weary, and chronically ill druid, mid-divorce with her cheating unicorn shifter husband, making ends meet by throwing ogham sticks for tourists in the back alleys of Pillar City. Cynder is looking for his fated mate because matehood means freedom from servitude for hellhounds. Morgan isn't sure what she's looking for other than help to steal back an heirloom from her ex-slimeball so she can heal an ancient portal tree for the Stewards of Pillar City and make rent. Both find Maison Arnis in the Silent Quarter: a place where you can ask for anything, but you might have to pay with what’s left of your heart. Maison Arnis: Pillar City isn't a place for the faint of heart. The snickleways and back alleys team with nightmares made flesh as skyscrapers block out the sun. Humans, sidhe, orcs, angels, gods, daemons, and more mingle and part like swirling water down a drain. The currency here isn't always cash and gold. Sometimes it's a memory, a jawbreaker, a poisonous mushroom, or a tooth from a narwhal. Sometimes, it's your soul. And no place in Pillar City is as eclectic in its merchandise and required payment as Maison Arins. Run by the deific Deryn Emrys, Maison Arnis in the Silent Quarter is a place where you can ask for whatever you wish. But payment might be trickier to acquire and present than you might think. Everything has its price; you just have to be willing to pay it. House of Malachite: transformation, transmuting dark to light, new growth, and insight. Maison Arnis is a multi-author alien and monster romance series of novellas centering around the Maison Arnis shop, its proprietor Deryn Emrys, and the unusual Pillar City and its eclectic, often non-human, denizens. The novellas are stand-alone and can be read in any order unless otherwise stated. Each story varies in spice level and TW/CW, so make sure to read the tropes and info provided for each novella. |
