A home at the end of the world. The bonds that shape a family. The sacrifices love demanded by love.
Aili Fallon has spent three hundred years of her unexpected immortality building a safe place for all those she cares about - her phoenix lover; their dragon son; their renegade demon daughter; and the shape-shifting spiritual creatures who come to Aili to learn the sword. She's determined to protect them from human captivity and demonic corruption.
But the patterns of the natural world, the source of spiritual power, are inexplicably failing. When Aili's lover is attacked, her phoenix healing disappears. A curse killing dragons targets their son, while growing demonic power threatens to destroy their daughter.
And hidden deep, a traitor is waiting.
Piece by piece, a long-laid plot of vengeance, betrayal, and cruelty is tightening around Aili and her family. The home that's been a sanctuary is now a trap, and Aili will risk everything she's built, and everything she is, to break them free.
Everything will not be enough.
*****
A queer cozy-dark fantasy of love, loss, and unexpected joy, for fans of high fantasy and deep feeling.
The Seaglass Blade is set in the same world as The Phoenix and the Sword and The Shoreless River, but it is not a direct sequel. The story opens three hundred years after The Shoreless River ends. The Seaglass Blade can be read either before or after the other books, and includes a short synopsis of the previous books.
As an epic fantasy the book includes violence and loss; please see the author's website, https: //jcsnow.com/works/authors-note-on-difficult-themes/, for content notes.
