Sonata

by Lyra R Saenz

Overview

What's more frightening: The mask? Or the reason it's worn?
Forced to flee her lover, the witch Wren Nocturne knows she still owes a debt. She must exact vengeance for those who resurrected her. Alone, and masquerading as an abused Firefly, she struggles to satisfy the blood curse threatening to tear her soul apart. With nightmarish beasts blocking her way, Wren's search becomes a cat and mouse game with another powerful witch. Summer Helsdottir has returned, and this time, she's hunting Wren.
Meanwhile, a steadfast Kaito Miyazaki races to find his lover before another technomancer tracks her down. Ready to put everything on the line to reconnect with Wren and keep his witch from facing a second death, he's hot on her trail but always one step behind. Will he catch up before either a witch-killing technomancer, soul-eating curse, or dangerous creature turns his beloved to dust? Wren is counting on her disguise to keep her safe but with peril at every turn, she may need more than magic to escape her fate.

About the Author

Lyra R. Saenz is a writer of Science Fiction/Fantasy. A romantic at heart with a love for supernatural horror, she believes that while happy endings don't come easily, they do come, even if it means excising your ex into a glass jar. Born and raised in South Texas, Lyra is a multicultural, eyeliner-wielding member of the LGBTQ+ community, an animal-lover, and a cynic of all things political. She presently haunts the Houston area with her amazingly supportive partner and her feline-shaped void, Violet. Lyra grew up bouncing between her Chicano and Scandinavian heritages never feeling like she really fit in one world or the other. Despite growing up on enchiladas and lefsa, she'll never turn down an offering of sushi or pho. And while her friends were getting boyfriends and girlfriends, she was too busy crushing on dreamy anime and manhwa characters to bother with real people. So with one foot on either side of the border and her head full of East-Asian pop culture, she started creating her own worlds. A lover of all things witchy, paranormal, and ghostly with a side of Victorian-futurism, cyberpunk, and posthumanism, Lyra imagines worlds where the IT tech is a werewolf and the coffee machine has a fairy living inside it but the androids love to take walks down the forest trail and host the occasional bonfire. When she isn't lost somewhere between an inkwell and a notebook, she can be found acting as a throne for the real queen of the household -Her cat and her royal majesty demands snuggles constantly. Or sitting and listening to her partner play video games while she unsuccessfully knits and/or binges her latest international tv show.
