Powerful witches. Ferocious vampires. A looming threat terrorizing the land. Joan Matthews and Leigh Phan can't keep their secret forever. INCENDIANT from @bywaterbooks.bsky.social bywaterbooks.com/product/inde...

You can never be wholesome enough to satisfy a bigot, so don't cut off pieces of yourself to fit the shape of their artificial box. They'll just shrink it after you do and demand you keep cutting.
