Lepis has been a dynamic, interesting character since she was born as Queen of Loess. In the time since she has served three kingdoms, divorced two men, loved one, and birthed eight children. Currently, she is the ruler of Taiga, but she has played a pivotal role in the fates of many lands. She is always a fun read and usually has a surprise waiting for us. Congrats to Lepis!

"She was close to touching him now,
and there is a fleeting moment where
she thinks she sees him flinch, like he
thought about touching her, too. And in
that moment, she thinks her heart might
have stopped, but just like countless
times before she is left waiting for a
kindness that never comes."
Off the northeastern coast of Beqanna is a large island surrounded by a handful of smaller islands. The islands are accessible by a series of sandbars that are most easily crossed during low tide. All are covered with dense tropical greenery and bordered with beautiful white sand beaches. There are a few freshwater springs on the big island, but no wildlife larger than the native parrots. Each night, bioluminescent phytoplankton wash ashore and light up the sand with their eerie blue glow.
