seanan_mcguireI promised you a treat to celebrate the impending release of Ashes of Honor, and here it is:
A brand-new story about the Luidaeg, "In Sea-Salt Tears," has been posted on the equally brand-new Toby Daye short fiction page. It is available in ePub, MOBI, and PDF formats, and is free for download. (So far, this is the only free Toby-universe short story. We'll be adding listings for the published-in-books shorts in a little while, but it's not hyper-high priority.)
This story is best read after One Salt Sea, and it further details the relationship between the Luidaeg and Elizabeth Ryan, the Selkie clan leader we met at the very end of the book. Please download rather than trying to read locally; my server will thank you.
Cover graphics are by Tara O'Shea. All short story electronic conversion thus far has been done by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scifantasy. As both of them are awesome, we applaud them now.
Go forth, read, and please feel free to use this as a discussion post, which means there may be spoilers in the comments. Tread carefully.
Enjoy.

Date: 2012-08-23 04:32 pm (UTC)Thank you so much for this little gift. It was wonderful. Though, admittedly, it has not assuaged in the least my impatience for Ashes of Honor. ;->

Date: 2012-08-23 05:30 pm (UTC)2) Selkies were created when another Firstborn told a bunch of jerks how to skin Roane so as to keep their magic.
3) So basically, all Selkies are wearing the Luidaeg's dead babies on their backs.
Nothing major.
