The third novellette in The Night and Its Moon universe, A Year of Tea and Honey, is the sapphic tale of Yazlyn, the sergeant in Raascot's military, and her frustrating, beautiful, messy love with Isra, a zoologist documenting the continent's demons, as the women stare into their futures and embody the painful truth: it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Piper C.J., author of the bisexual fantasy series The Night and Its Moon, is a photographer, hobby linguist, and french fry enthusiast. She has an M.A. in Folklore, and a B.A. in Broadcasting, which she used in her former life as a morning show weather girl, hockey podcaster, and in audio documentary work. Now when she isn't playing with her dogs, Arrow and Applesauce, she's making tiktoks, studying fairy tales, or writing fantasy very, very quickly.
