There is nothing wrong with my mind. I am not crazy. The only thing wrong is this body and its inability to change.

There is nothing wrong with my mind. I am not crazy. The only thing wrong is this body and its inability to change. There is a duality within Val, one that no one in her life understands: a collision of masculine and feminine tied up in one body. As the heiress of the Cortez fortune, she is expected to fit the mold she's been born into, but she wants nothing more than her freedom. For the last few years, she's been given some semblance of that. Does her father approve of having a "cross-dressing daughter"? No, but the man only thinks of her queerness as an indulgent game. When Val's father arranges a marriage between her and an abhorrent aristocrat, Val runs away to Boston to partake in the most sinful of dalliances with an unlikely companion: a handsome brujo who desires Val not just as the woman she was born as but also as the man he embodies when his spirit makes the switch. Their forbidden affair ensues amidst a sinister plot. Val must end this sham of an engagement lest he lose his freedom, his identity, and the comfort of his newfound lover's warm embrace.
Autorenporträt
"Lyra R. Saenz is a writer of Science Fiction/Fantasy. A romantic at heart with a love for supernatural horror, she believes that while happy endings don't come easily, they do come, even if it means excising your ex into a glass jar.Born and raised in South Texas, Lyra is a multicultural, eyeliner-wielding member of the LGBTQ+ community, an animal-lover, and a cynic of all things political. She presently haunts the Houston area with her amazingly supportive partner and her feline-shaped void, Violet. Lyra grew up bouncing between her Chicano and Scandinavian heritages never feeling like she really fit in one world or the other.Despite growing up on enchiladas and lefsa, she'll never turn down an offering of sushi or pho. And while her friends were getting boyfriends and girlfriends, she was too busy crushing on dreamy anime and manhwa characters to bother with real people. So with one foot on either side of the border and her head full of East-Asian pop culture, she started creating her own worlds.A lover of all things witchy, paranormal, and ghostly with a side of Victorian-futurism, cyberpunk, and posthumanism, Lyra imagines worlds where the IT tech is a werewolf and the coffee machine has a fairy living inside it but the androids love to take walks down the forest trail and host the occasional bonfire. When she isn't lost somewhere between an inkwell and a notebook, she can be found acting as a throne for the real queen of the household -Her cat and her royal majesty demands snuggles constantly. Or sitting and listening to her partner play video games while she unsuccessfully knits and/or binges her latest international tv show."
