Hey look it’s why I learned to draw! Aulo has short silver hair, a lil wavy. She’ll tell you she just lets it do its own thing, but the truth is she uses her magic to style it to be just the right balance between chaotic and cute. #writesky #writingcommunity #awesomecharacters

Title card and excerpt for CANTICLE, a 95k word adult epic fantasy where two sisters rage against the world that made them who they are, and come into conflict over the people they are becoming.
✨ Bards, gods, family, politics, and a struggle deeper than reality itself ✨

So excited to throw CANTICLE into the trenches!
Aulo helped her sister take the throne.
That was a mistake.
Take EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and make it an epic sapphic fantasy — unraveling realities, doomed lovers, and wonderfully messy sisterhood.
