description: In these sixteen exquisite stories Kat Howard deftly weaves in and out of the countries of myth and hagiography to write the lives of women untold and unexplored.A woman being written into her boyfriends fiction is at first flattered to be his muse but then finds her real life literally consumed and overtaken by his. A desperate young woman makes a prayer to the Saint of Sidewalks but the miracle she receives isnt what she expected. A painter spies a naked man crouched by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine transform into a beautiful white bird and decides to paint him and becomes involved in his curse. Jeanne a duelist and a sacred blade for God and Her holy saints finds that the price of truth is always blood. And in the novella Once Future Howard reimagines the Arthurian romance on a modern college campus as a story that is told and told again until the ending is right.
