Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero. So she did the coming-of-age quest. She saved the kingdom and kissed the farmboy turned King. And when she was done... she went home. She never forgot about her time in Callaria. It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she's back. Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Her actions a decade ago caused ripples that didn't go away when she did. The gawky apprentice wizard she once called a friend is now a cynical Royal Wizard with a penchant for floor length velvet robes and dangerous secrets. Her magic sword is giving her the silent treatment. The evil ruler she thought she defeated is living in the dungeon, making cryptic predictions that sound a little too much like fact. The farmboy turned King...

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.
