The Story of the Hundred Promises

Ten years exiled from his home, trans sailor Darragh has made a life for himself with a new family of people who love and accept him. But when his sister asks him to reconcile with their dying father, he finds himself succumbing to the maelstrom of emotion that consumed him as a teenager. Determined to resolve his feelings rather than just survive them, Darragh sets off on a quest to find the one person who can heal a half-dead man: the mysterious Enchanter who once gave Darragh the magic he needed to become his true self. But so far as anyone knows, no one but Darragh has seen the Enchanter for a century, and the fairy tales that survive about em give more cause for fear than hope. In lush and evocative prose, and populated with silver trees that withstand human greed, The Story of the Hundred Promises centers queer and trans characters in a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
