Pixies.At the annual Global Lijun Alliance conference in Tokyo, Tally Bastille makes the first impulsive decision of his life. Others perceive his uktena--the enormous legendary serpent thats his dual-spirit--as a threat, which makes him all too aware that he frightens fellow lijun.

Tally is determined to barrel through all obstacles to make the match happen, including the otters conservative, traditional family.Trained as a Satislit--a bride-son--Haru Tanaka chafes at the strict boundaries set around their life. They rebel against their clans constant attempts to force an arranged match and wish desperately for someone who will love them. At the conference, Haru is horrified to learn their family has accepted an offer for them, one too lucrative for the clan to refuse. Not only has the Urusar sold Haru to a stranger, but the lijun is also a giant snake and one who believes in the tired old superstitions regarding Emhalafi. Threatened with banishment if they refuse, Haru has no choice but to marry the wealthy American serpent.Back in Tallys home in Wisconsin, Haru and Tally must navigate both the widening gulf between them as they realize how much theyve misunderstood about each other, and the tricky politics of the lijun clan Tally leads. Murder, intrigue and increasing hostility threaten to tear apart the little town of Wadiswan and the arranged marriage theyve barely managed to begin. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography The unlikely black sheep of an ivory tower intellectual family, Angel Martinez has managed to make her way through life reasonably unscathed. Despite a wildly misspent youth, she snagged a degree in English Lit, married once and did it right the first time, (same husband for almost twenty-four years) gave birth to one amazing son, (now in college) and realized at some point that she could get paid for writing. Published since 2006, Angels cynical heart cloaks a desperate romantic. Youll find drama and humor given equal weight in her writing and dont expect sad endings. Life is sad enough. She currently lives in Delaware in a drinking town with a college problem and writes Science Fiction and Fantasy centered around gay heroes. Freddy is a bisexual, biromantic, genderfluid nerd and geek who grew up in the Midwest playing soccer, diving, swimming and doing gymnastics, along with running around outside as much as possible-preferably spending that time in swamps and hiking through forests. The haphazard escapades have not changed, except some of them have been replaced with a healthy geocaching addiction and a love for Science Fiction and Fantasy. This love of SFF developed into a writing passion and has led to several awards in the gay science fiction and fantasy categories. Freddy likes worms, dancing and being outside... and toll passes, but youll have to ask on that one. (They/Them/Their pronouns.) Long Description No. Eating. Pixies.
