      Acting The Part

      by Z.R. Ellor

      This delightfully tropey teen romance perfect for fans of Ashley Poston and Lyla Lee follows a queer teen actor navigating their gender identity—while pretending to date their co-star. Queer actor Lily Ashton has found fame playing lesbian warrior Morgantha on the hit TV show Galaxy Spark. Lily knows how little representation queer girls have, so when the showrunners reveal that Morgantha’s on-screen love interest, Alietta, is going to be killed off, Lily orchestrates an elaborate fake-dating scheme with the standoffish actress who plays her, to generate press and ensure a happy ending for the #Morganetta ship. But while playing a doting girlfriend on- and off-screen, Lily struggles with whether a word like “girl” applies to them at all. Lily’s always been good at playing a part. But are they ready to share their real self, even if it means throwing everything they’ve fought for away?

      SILK FIRE

      by ZR Ellor

      Koré, a courtesan in a city-planet ruled by women, seeks to sabotage his aristocrat father's campaign for their neighborhood’s imperial throne. Aided by a fragile coalition of allies, including Faziz—a male crime lord who swiftly and unnervingly sees past Koré’s pleasant facade—and Rita— a fun-loving scholar-adventurer—he recruits and campaigns for a more "traditional" candidate to challenge his father. As Koré and Ria investigate his father's allies, they uncover the use of necromancy: a dark art that corrupts, controls, and destroys the precious, limited magical essence that supports all human life on the city-planet. Koré extends some fragile trust to Faziz and Ria so they can discover how deep the threat reaches. But when a chance encounter with a dying god blesses him with the shapeshifting, essencebreathing powers of a dragon, Koré becomes a commodity; if discovered, he'll be imprisoned and forced to breathe magic for the throne. His deepening affection for Faziz and Ria forces him to push them away, but the corruption in his city runs deeper than just one man, and an ally's betrayal unleashes an army of the dead on his home street. Koré must trust the world with his deepest secret to stand beside the woman and man he's finally let himself love, as only the bright truth of dragon's fire can break the iron fist of a necromancer's hold.
