The Hierophant by Carolina Cruz

Strength by Luna Daye

A warrior is sent to investigate the rumors of a raided village and is forced to face the trauma of his past, and has to battle more than his grief after a terrifying discovery.

The Chariot by R.K. Ashwick

Two witches vie desperately for a goddess’s blessing- but the fortune they seek might be right in front of them.

Temperance by Noah Hawthorne

A grieving mercenary searches for the tallest mountain to throw himself from, but a mystery and curious folk keep him grounded for a little while longer.

The Devil by Sebastian Nothwell

A repressed Victorian finds fleeting release in a fae courtesan’s arms until iron chains threaten their growing bond.
