The Heartbreak Show

A demi-mortal with a divine secret
A Raven shifter determined to a win a bet
And a quest that changes everything

Not all heroes wear armor, I was told when younger. Not even the warrior god whose namesake I chose at thirteen when my sister and I ran away.

A warrior god who left his known world . . . in a dress.

But, darlin’, life is far more complicated than a faerie tale. Especially when you discover you are one.

Aye, shocked me too. And very little surprises me. I focus, however, on winning a ridiculous bet made with the gorgeous Gent of Fem, the girl I love, in a bawdy coin beggar’s show for our tribe. But when my meddling great-aunt appears to me in the woods, I can no longer ignore my secrets.

So now, like the heroes of old, I’m on an absurd quest to reclaim an even more laughable birthright. A heist that not only forces me to accept my darkness as well as my light, but one that also forces me to face two of my greatest fears.

A broken heart . . . and Seren.

CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS

• brief off page references to child abuse with mild descriptions
• on page homophobic/transphobic comments by a parent (referring to son as a Molly).
• on page exploration of trauma as a trans, pansexual individual in a less accepting world outside of found family (brief and mildly described, but still a running theme in this story)
• brief off page references to domestic violence with mild descriptions
• themes of mortal indentured servitude and slavery with the fae (please note that in the eyes of the fae, there is no legal difference between the two terms due to bargains and their nature and so the terms are, thus, used interchangeably)
• themes of colonialism, with brief off page references of mortals slaughtering and assimilating the Wild Fae
• mild on page fantasy violence and gore
• fae are referred to as male/female
• Raven Folk refer to mortals as “pet”
• swearing, but mostly in Irish slang (feck, shite, arse)
• two on page sex scenes with medium descriptions (romantically driven)
• a fluffy, cuddly, thieving raccoon
• lewd and smutty innuendos
• Irish dialects in dialogue
