Spells are willful little
things. Once uttered, they can take on a life of their own, and that's
usually when the trouble begins…
The spell that love casts is transformational. These nine
m/m/f ménage stories are about the bonds that go beyond words, and to places
no one expects.
In "Bad Hoodoo," BA Tortuga demonstrates the perils of playing diva in
voodoo country. "Play Music, Play Magic" by Maia Strong relates the gentler
side of a witch's power as she celebrates her homecoming. Sometimes, though,
a witch is not enough--in "The Antithesis of Magic," JL Merrow shows how all
the pieces must come together for magic to truly bind. Nor is a witch's
magic always benevolent, as the lovers find out in "Ironheart," by Shea
Meier. And in CC Bridges' "The Shore House," there is no witch at all--only
her wisdom to guide a novice hand.
Some lovers, too, are inherently magical. Sylphs and undines are simply
themselves in Penelope Friday's "The Birth of the Year," while Titania's
crew raises their usual mayhem in Giselle Renarde's "Midsummer Morning
Woods." In "The Winter King," by Kathryn Scannell, ancient gods manifest for
their worshippers. Finally, in "Sleeping With Monsters," Kiernan Kelly looks
at the spell itself to find the magic there.
