That's bad enough, but when they are dispatched to an isolated village to counter a surge of violent geist activity, they find their fate bound with Raed Rossin. Shapeshifter and Pretender to the Imperial throne he bears a terrible curse which endangers them all. As they investigate, the strange settlement is reveled to be haunted by a undead creature more predatory and horrifying than any encountered before.

Can three powerful and troubled people discover a way to work together to save the citizens and themselves?

Podcasting has had its ups and downs since it first started. The market is big, but there’s a lot of small fish out there and it’s hard to get noticed.
At the titular panel at Balticon53, Mark Redfield, Mike Luoma, Philippa Ballantine, Christiana Ellis, and Fred. G. Yost discussed where podcasting has been and what they hope and fear we’ll see in the future.

Personally, I like the line where they refer to Tam Lin as her PREY. :D
God, yeah, okay, listen, I’m extremely weak to any narrative where the plot is “and then a fragile human looked at a creature that could definitely kill them and went ‘yeah, I’ll take that’” and that weakness has led me down some questionable roads in terms of literary quality, sure, but I also stand by it and Tam Lin has my back. I particularly like that kind of plot when it ends with the fragile human taking a couple levels in badass and the creature being like “Hm, it’s possible that I’m afraid of them, I’ll take that.”
I would recommend The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black if you’re into that, although the creature in that one is not actually the love interest, as well as Sunshine by Robin McKinley (which you know), although the creature in that one is a little Complicated, Geist by Philippa Ballantine, and the Iron Fey series by Julia Kagawa, which is probably the closest to what I specifically want from a novel in this instance. Also, as ever, the Kencyrath are good, although it’s kind of “a number of fragile humans looked at a creature that could definitely kill them, went ‘yeah, I’ll take that’, and then suffered the consequences” from the perspective of the creature.
My point here is that I want a version of Tam Lin that spends a lot of time and attention on the fact that Janet basically rolls up and goes “Mine now” to the roses and Tam Lin both without regard for the fact that the roses have thorns and the fae could DEFINITELY murder her, and then just brings pure raw stubbornness to bear on the situation until the world conforms to her preferences.

As war breaks out among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shānmén, unleashing a black rain of death that yields hideous transformations. Rescue is too far away, and the colonists’ only hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals—an elite mix of former Colonial Marines and Royal Marines.
