To break a curse she is wrongly accused of casting, Alice must team up with a crew of untrained magic wielders and sail treacherous seas, battling folktales and cryptids. A map of riddles guides their way, but the family secrets it reveals may be the most deadly barrier of all. #wspit #q #f #nd

Thinking of submitting some short stories to literary journals this year. If anyone in the writing community has suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them!
