Sein & Zeya
Spirit-hood
Some threads cannot be unravelled
She paid him no particular attention. He found this surprisingly difficult to forget.
What it is
A quiet fantasy romance in two voices, set in an ancient Southeast Asian-inspired kingdom where spirits walk among mortals.
She woke as a spirit with no memory of the life she lost. He is a Crown Prince, promised to another, certain of his duty and increasingly less convinced by it.
What they had was never spoken. It was afternoons that ended too soon, conversations that wandered nowhere important, and a habit of finding each other wherever they happened to be. By the time either of them realised what it meant, there was no time left to say it aloud.
Even now, something between them remains woven where it should have come apart.

Who you’ll meet
Sein
Yazana
Spirit of Cloth, which sounds like it should mean mending and laundry. She has other ideas.
She grants wishes in unexpected ways, and the village has grown fond of a spirit who does things by no one’s rules but her own.
She is content. Almost. Until a pair of pale green eyes meet hers, and her heart remembers what she cannot.
Zeya
Arkar
Crown Prince, admired by everyone, betrothed to a princess he has never met. He is very good at being exactly what they need him to be. It is exhausting.
There was one lady at Court who was never once impressed by him, which he finds refreshing.
He finds her, rather more dangerously, intriguing. He hasn’t stopped looking for her since.
