Exploring themes of identity and creativity, the narrative features a girl who ingeniously creates a marzipan husband, while a man grapples with his belief that he is made of glass. Additionally, a nonbinary sibling shines in ways their brothers cannot, contributing to a rich tapestry of diverse experiences. The story also delves into the origins of the asexual flag, weaving together unique characters and their journeys of self-discovery.

Once upon a time, our ancestors told tales of asexuality, symbolic stories that hint at other identities: a princess who grows a beard to escape marriage, a knight who forsakes his wife's bed to become a werewolf, a goddess with detachable parts, a planet where everyone is asexual. Drawn from many times and places, retold and reimagined for the 21st century, Elizabeth Hopkinson's second book of myths and tales brings asexuality out of the closet and gives it the history it has been denied.

A refreshing collection of enchanting fairy tales that reflects the spectrum of human sexuality.

Set in a meticulously organized eighteenth-century society, the city-state of Angelio is celebrated for its rich musical heritage and the protective presence of the Archangel Michael.
