AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy

Queer Rep Summary: Gay/Achillean Main Character(s), Bi/Pan Main Character(s).

SHINE IN PEARL is a novella in three parts: the story of how Patrick joined Dianda in the Undersea, told from Patrick, Dianda, and Simon's perspectives. It's a heady mix of joy and sorrow, I think it might be too sad to bear if it weren't buffered slightly by knowing how A KILLING FROST ends before reading this story.

CW for grief.
