Flooded Secrets

Your story is my story…

Fate and friendship brought Horace, Rumi, and Aliyah together in Rumi’s Wandering Wagon of Wonderful Wares, a sentient self-propelling wagon. They seek the forest haunting Aliyah’s dream, hoping for answers about their past and their unique abilities—but for that, they need to traverse a world haunted by Fragments, dangerous shards that can possess travellers.

Their road to the coastal city of Alleaze is blocked by a flooded mountain pass—and the only person who knows how to unflood it is Keza Nesmit, the highway bandit who assaulted them the day before they arrived at this dead end. Abrasive and confident, Keza makes for a thorny companion, but they’ll need to work together to free the pass and continue their journey. Little do they know, this dangerous collaboration leads to secrets better left alone, and deadly consequences.

FLOODED SECRETS is the second of nine novellas in a fantasy adventure blending cozy fantasy vibes and D&D style side-questing, imbued with an aspec-focused queernormative world and strong platonic bonds.
