Tale of the Swamp Song: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,K.C. Norton

Finding a murderer should be easy when you can ask the corpse who killed them. Every few nights, a swamp at the edge of civilization gives back its dead. When a victim returns to demand justice from beyond a watery grave, the renowned Emerald Flame douses himself in spirits, leaving his partner to wade through their pool of suspects alone. Upper Bound is full of swindlers, frauds, and misanthropes: a lord who never fails to be the life of the party. A minstrel with more charisma than talent. The head of the city’s criminal underbelly. A vagrant who claims to be a landless king. Crimson Smoke has never failed to puzzle out a mystery, but if they can’t solve one murder faster than they can cover up another, the lives of an entire town could be at stake. And Crimson is starting to believe that the city’s restless dead aren’t the only thing that the bog has brought back to life. *** For years, the outcast Emerald Flame has traveled the world, solving mysteries that only a magic-wielder could unravel. But when his imaginary friend gains a mind of their own, both are forced to grapple with their identities as well as the enchanted forces working against them. A high-fantasy mystery perfect for fans of J. R. R. Tolkien and Arthur Conan Doyle! Content Note for Swamp Song This story contains descriptions of untreated mental health, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

Unbound Life: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,Marie McCue

Mina must kill her best friend if she wants to save his life. Worse, he has to let her. Darcon and Mina, the two worst acolytes at the temple observatory of Celestriona, can only rely on each other. Her presence is a salve for his furious emotions and his the only light against the dark terrors that haunt her. Together, they compete against the other initiates in desperate hopes of becoming one of the rare guardians of the heavens: a Celestial dragon. Each evening, it’s martial training as the sun sets, followed by studying the divine magics and hours observing the weaving patterns within the constellations. They struggle to follow the paths laid out for them, as each academic competition, each magical test, and each fight amongst the acolytes pushes the pair closer to expulsion from the temple where life outside the sheltering walls means failure for Darcon and starvation for Mina. Their delicate equilibrium is destroyed when a magic-wielding stranger arrives with a message that threatens to separate the young initiates from their mountaintop home. They soon find themselves struggling to not only keep their place at the temple but fighting to save their very lives—a mystical battle that will destroy their beliefs and compel them to pierce the veil of death itself.

Tale of the Steadfast Brotherhood: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,K.C. Norton

The blade of grass that grows the highest is the first to be cut. As an unwanted infant, the Emerald Flame didn’t have an easy childhood, but he’s put all that behind him—at least until a Conjury investigation draws him back to the place where it all began. According to the rumors, a god walks among the faithful in the remote sanctuary of the Brotherhood of Guise, where the orphans of Kinmore are offered a safe haven. At last, Crimson Smoke will be able to get some answers about Emerald’s origins. But safety is relative, and the deeper Crimson digs into the Brotherhood and their mentor’s shadowy past, the more they begin to suspect that the compound was never as safe as it seemed. In the Brotherhood, the shadows have teeth, the walls have eyes, and even Emerald’s memories can’t be trusted. Something deadly is waiting in the ancient abbey. Something that no one but Crimson seems to see. He who stands the closest to the fire is the first to burn. Content Note for Steadfast Brotherhood This manuscript includes descriptions of: Body shaming PTSD Death of a minor References to mental health, including depression and self-harm

Tale of the Upland Daughter: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,K.C. Norton

Following the events of Tale of the Swamp Song. Spoilers ahead. Everyone who crosses paths with Ronnie of Dougan, even his best friend Gemma, sees a tall, broad-shouldered boy on the cusp of manhood. His life is laid out before him. His family’s expectations couldn’t be clearer. But the person Ronnie sees in the mirror feels like a stranger. When a fateful encounter at his coming-of-age ceremony leaves Ronnie at a crossroads, he turns to a forgotten goddess for guidance. Content note for Upland Daughter manuscript: This story contains instances of misgendering, deadnaming, and transphobia. The characters depicted in this tale do not have terms for their experiences in this place and time. I have made this choice to acknowledge the fact that even when gender nonconformity and queerness haven’t been adequately represented in the lexicon, we have always been here.

Tale of the Hidden Village: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,K.C. Norton

Most people only see what’s in front of them, be it a monstrous intellect or a beautiful fiction. Crimson Smoke’s first conscious memory is of their appearance in the woods outside of town on a backwater island. Their only friend, the reclusive half-Jotunn investigator known as the Emerald Flame, plans to catch a thief in what he assumes will be a simple case. But when a government agent turns up dead, the pair soon find themselves on the hunt for much more dangerous prey. As the clues in the dead man’s bed lead them deeper into the heart of the island, Crimson discovers there is more than one mystery to unravel. According to Emerald, Crimson is a being made of little more than light and magic, but the genderfluid “sidekick” believes they are much more than that. They make a bet: if Crimson can solve the mystery of the secretive village hidden in the highlands, Emerald will finally admit that Crimson is a person in their own right. With each new clue, however, Crimson learns more about their creator’s tormented past and the history of the village itself. Emerald is keeping dark secrets of his own, and Crimson may have more in common with the murderer than either of them would have believed. *** For years, the outcast Emerald Flame has traveled the world, solving mysteries that only a magic-wielder could unravel. But when his imaginary friend gains a mind of their own, both are forced to grapple with their identities as well as the enchanted forces working against them.

Viet of Vows: World of Heavenfall

By: Riley Rookhouse,Marie McCue

Nearly a decade before the events of Unbound Life, Harrow and her partner are on the trail of a thieving conman—a gentleman who seems to have an almost magical way of making people believe his every word. The chase pulls them from city to city, from underworld crime lairs to the library rooms of the rich and powerful. They must navigate dangers both physical and political, all while going after a man who can weave lies like a rug-maker on a loom. But they’re not the only ones looking for the criminal. His multitude of victims are close on his heels—some rich, some powerful, some with nothing left to lose—and they are not seeking something as mundane as legal justice. The pair of Conjury investigators struggle to stay one step ahead of the forces that are hungry for their own revenge against the wanted man, all while he manages to stay one step ahead of everyone. As the situation grows dire, Harrow must decide between willingly defending a conman or sacrificing her own moral code—at the cost of her career and perhaps her very life.

A Bigger Bang Theory: Clean & Wholesome Women of STEM Romcom Romance

By: Joran Riley Swan,K.C. Norton

Jessica Everly doesn’t believe in love, especially not after her ex dumped her. On vacation. At a wedding. Ever since then, she’s had it with men. She’d much rather focus on her work at the astrophysics lab. Her monthly WineSTEM meeting provides plenty of social interaction, thank you very much. She’s perfectly content, no matter what anyone else seems to think… until her evil ex, a fellow astrophysicist, tries to take credit for her work. Now, the fate of her research lies in the hands of the university, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see which one of them has more friends in the department. Micah Gene Lin has been licensed as a PI for over a year, but he makes most of his income from his side hustle as a tarot reader and all-around ‘mystic.’ Gene doesn’t really believe in fate, but hey, it pays the bills. When he gets hired by the head of the local university’s astrophysics department to investigate two of its own members, however, he finds himself trapped in the orbit of a serious, jaded, perennially unimpressed astrophysicist who makes him question everything. The trouble is, Jessica has no idea he’s involved in her case. He might have lied by omission. He might have broken into her ex’s office. As they get closer, the gravity of their situation starts to sink in. Is Gene meant to change Jessica’s future? Or is she meant to change his?
