Lead Story for October issue:

In the Land of Ash, Where the Light is God
by Hailey Piper

Neo California is for killers, Mirin had heard since she was little, and once she was fifteen with blood on her hands, she walked and rode and crawled until she reached that crimson coast. She told few who she was and never shared why she did it. To kill a god’s high oracle was to spit in his face, as if gods still had faces.

But she heard about herself nonetheless.

​

“She offered Grand Light’s oracle to another god, goddess, or godex.”
