Seven stories of fantasy and wonder that will take you into the oceans and mountains of lands where a mother’s tears of grief can bring prosperity to a desert village, water nymphs long for the touch of a mermaid, and ancient songs can make a flower bloom, stop the moon from falling from the sky, or keep a dark power at bay. This collection features stories that have appeared in magazines such as Lightspeed, Weirdbook, and NewMyths, as well as a never before published gaslamp fantasy novelette about  a selfish older sister who seeks the favor of the last magical queen who can grant her powers.
