Cover art for Booksellers and Bone Setters, an Oak King Holly King Tale. An elderly Victorian clerk and fae man with horns and goat ears gaze lovingly into each other's eyes, surrounded by a mistletoe wreath.
An excerpt from Booksellers and Bone Setters reads as follows:
The icy sweat trickling down Hullvardrโs scalp felt at odds with his fevered brow. The pain in his broken limb remained a constantโbut, as one might grow accustomed to the howling of hounds after enough hours of ceaseless noise, so the searing agony had become just another part of the world, like the rattle of wagon-wheels over cobblestones and the crackling hearth-fire. Part of him felt better for having beheld the wound; now that he understood the shape of it, no longer did the possibility of worse torment him. The pain burst into something louder and brighter only when he moved his leg, and so he did not move it. His molars ground together to keep the more pitiful moans at bay. Giving voice to his pain would not change matters. He had but to wait for Grythaโs arrival. Until then he need only endure. And with seven centuries behind him, he could endure well enough.
The more pressing matter, to his mind, was how to look after Ephraim.
