Story Alert: “A Dirge for the Mirrorbirds”

In a universe where it’s taken for granted that reincarnation will inevitably deposit your soul in some random corner of the galaxy, time after time, one planet has a closely guarded secret: the ability to control where their next life will begin.

It’s a universe I’ve been spending a lot of time in, and I’m so excited to share this new installment with you, once again in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, where fiercely dedicated editor Scott H. Andrews worked with me over the better part of a year to make this story shine. Welcome to Yem, a reclusive little planet with the power to bring the whole universe together—or be torn apart.
