About this ebook

Two sisters, forced into arranged marriages by their cold and profit-minded father.


One runs away to join a mercenary band. The other goes meekly to the arms of her cruel husband.


The first sister quickly makes a name for herself. The other learns to cook fancy treats and smile prettily for her husband’s business associates… and never to provoke her husband’s temper.


The first sister is dangerous.


The second is deadly.


This short story is 12,000 words long. It is also available in Not Your Heroine, a fantasy short story collection.

About the author

Zoe Cannon may or may not be a supervillain out to conquer the world through writing. When not writing, they can be found perfecting their schemes for world domination, plotting against their archenemies, and staying up too late reading a book. Their secret lair is rumored to be located somewhere in southern New Hampshire. They also write as their mild-mannered alter ego, Z.J. Cannon.
