Where the Sun Sets
The Gibbons worked their whole lives saving for their future. But at what cost?
When it’s time to retire and reap the rewards of every sacrifice Vole insisted they make, they discover Bay is dying, and her burning desire to see the world beyond small-town Dorset will die with her.
Grief-stricken, Vole is magically granted the ability to stop and restart time. Using his powers, he takes Bay on a journey to all the places she dreamed of seeing. But traveling through a time-frozen world has its dangers. Nothing changes: water doesn’t flow, fires don’t spark, no one can move or die… except Vole.
When time stops, Vole grows old and unhinged; when time passes, Bay’s life fades. In the ultimate race against time, Vole must carry them thousands of miles around the world and confront his inner demons along the way, or forever fail the woman he loves.
Content warning: miscarriage and stillbirth, an obstetric emergency, a mother’s deliberation about ending a pregnancy, death, grief, and body horror.
Cursed One
For thousands of years, humanity has called her a child-killer. They have it backwards.
She sits with unborn children while they die, so none die alone. In all that time, she has never had a living child of her own. Then she finds one growing inside her—a child her poisoned body cannot carry. She has three months to decide whether to let a grieving mother carry it, or kill it and spare it her curse.
For an immortal who has spent millennia longing for death, the choice should be simple. Instead, the woman and her young daughter draw her back toward the world she has spent so long trying to escape.
But becoming a mother means confronting the sister she failed, the child she lost, and the ancient betrayal that turned her into the monster humanity fears.
