First sentence: Skiti watched Laanda belly-crawl just below the lip of the path leading to the cave mouth. She probably thought she was being stealthy, but Skiti could hear the chink of her wrist axes echoing along the ridge. Grosti had ears like foxes; there was no way they wouldn’t hear Laanda coming, even with the wind. Skiti’s stomach clenched at the thought of their huge clubs and the head-sized rocks they hurled with hideous accuracy.
Description: To the Depths and beyond.

Laanda’s led her weary people across endless mountains in search of a new home. Jagged Shard has everything they need: deep mountain tunnels, ready-made infrastructure, and a wealth of hotiron that will secure her clan’s future. It must be theirs.

Skiti’s seen her Queen like this before. Obsessed. Desperate. Willing to risk everything for her people. But Jagged Shard was abandoned for a reason. If Skiti can’t protect Laanda from herself, she risks losing her forever.

Their bonds tighten as they delve side by side into the many dangers and wonders of this forgotten place. Only together can they solve the puzzle of Jagged Shard and of their own reticent hearts.

Jagged Shard is a high-octane, high-steam lesbian dungeon crawler romance with a butch 4 butch pairing and a BFFs-with-occasional-benefits-to-lovers arc.
