Once upon a time, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Faith Hunter and award-winning authors David B. Coe and John G. Hartness agreed to mentor a group of rising authors-the Roaring Writers. Chasing the Light-with tales across the spectrum of science fiction and fantasy-is their celebration of success. It is also a tribute honoring Melanie Otto (AKA Melanie Griffin), one of the founding authors, who died unexpectedly in 2016. Melanie critiqued many of these stories at the Roaring Writers' annual writing retreats, and the authors will never forget Melanie's sparkling eyes and delighted laugh as she found passages she loved in each. With this collection, including stories by Melanie, the Roaring Writers share her light with readers everywhere. Thanks to the generosity of their mentors and contributors, all profits from the sales of this anthology will be donated to help Melanie's lifelong partner defray medical and legal costs.

Sex. Politics. Swords. A winning combination. But not if you're the Heir...Deor is doing what she can to learn Winter Court politics, starting with a delightfully sexy affair with Rafe, the king's recently un-fianced right hand man. Fun and excitement with no strings attached. What could be better?When the king announces a Royal Tournament only a few months away, Deor knows it's an irrational, stupid, expensive idea, but she can't help but be a little bit excited, too. She's sure that Rafe will look good on a horse, sword in hand. Rafe, too, delights in the idea that he might pin Deor's sleeve to his armor and fight for his lady.Besides, no one knows that they're having an affair.But the king's irrationality is spinning out of control as the Winter Court faces military threats from the Summer Court, failing crops, and an increasingly rebellious population. Unwilling or unable to face the truth about his rule, the king lashes out at all around him, especially his heir.Rafe and Deor aren't the only ones who know the nation is in trouble. The palace itself confides in Deor, begging her to save it, and the kingdom, from her father's narcissistic reign. Staying quiet won't help, and speaking up might get her killed. And if the king finds out about the affair, well, Deor might find out what the Tower of London looks like from the inside.
