Curling Vines & Crimson Trades by Kellie Doherty

$7.50

Rare goods trader, Orenda Silverstone leads a happy life with her wife and friends. She's an Elu—a race whose crafting is centered on protection—but her power is broken. Now, her sword is her strength. When her wife gets kidnapped and Orenda has to use her trading skills to complete some nearly impossible tasks to get her back, a good sword arm won't be enough. Orenda's time is rapidly coming to a close. She needs help. But she's been forced into silence. Two sun goddess worshippers, twins Lan and Lyra, decide to join Orenda's quest in order to guard one of the rarer items to its destination. Orenda's not sure she can turn her back on either one, but with no other options, she competes against the sunrises to complete her tasks before her wife is killed. Then, the unthinkable happens. Orenda's best friend, Jax, tries to kill her. Between racing against the coming dawns and battles at every turn, Orenda's list now seems insurmountable. No longer certain of who is friend or foe, she must come up with a plan to save them all before the sun rises on her wife's final day.

2019 Rainbow Honorable Mention

I loved it!

I loved this book. It was so well written and kept me on the edge of my seat not wanting to put it down at all. I was sad when it was over because I knew the wait for the next one would be a while. I highly recommend this book! I am excited for the next installment. —website customer

Kellie Doherty has a master’s in book publishing from Portland State University. She’s the author of the Cicatrix Duology (Finding Hekate and Losing Hold, Desert Palm Press) and is currently working on a five-book fantasy series. The first book, Sunkissed Feathers & Severed Ties, will be out in early 2019. During the day, she’s an office assistant and freelance editor, and by night she’s crafting adventures full of magic and daggers...and maybe a few dragons, too. She also enjoys reading, taking walks, playing video and board games, and hanging out with her friends.

My favorite lesbian fiction book:

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, by Becky Chambers, because while the queer romance is quieter than others, it feels natural and easy.

My old favorite has to be:

Harry Potter, by JK Rowling, because it made me want to be a writer. However, my current favorite is A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab because her characters are amazing, and her plots twist in delicious ways.
