A Sin & a Half (Forgotten Fragments, #1)

Folk Magic. Foreboding Omens. Feminine Rage.

In a crumbing outpost, on the edge of an empire, live ninety-seven magical beings. Among them:

A midwife privy to people’s past lives.
A shaman hiding a dangerous medical condition.
And a guard constantly berated by the crystals he carries in his pocket.

They’re some of the realm’s last remaining humans and they spend their days overcharging the tourists who come to gawk at their dying species. But when a theatrical warlord arrives at their doorstep demanding tribute in the form of a young woman, they’re forced to consider a brutal crime that could bind their fates and change the shape of the realm forever…

A SIN & A HALF is a whimsical and brutal fantasy full of intersecting love stories and heartbreakingly human choices. Perfect for fans of Spinning Silver and Lapvona, this is a spellbinding and unforgettable tale of decisions made and prices paid.

Tropes include found family, band of misfits, small town hysteria, the sacrificial maiden, and feminine rage.
