About this ebook
A girl ventures into a dark world to undo a troubling legacy in this thrilling fantasy novella from the award–winning author.
A Locus Award finalist for Best Novella
"So compelling. . . . A gripping tale from beginning to end, Desdemona and the Deep is a great read for anyone who loves a good fairy story." —BookPage
A steep drop into an uncanny, richly painted underworld, Desdemona and the Deep tells the story of the spoiled daughter of a rich mining family who must retrieve the tithe of men her father promised to the world below.
On the surface, her world is rife with industrial pollution that ruins the health of poor factory workers while the idle rich indulge themselves in unheard-of luxury. Below are goblins, mysterious kingdoms, and an entirely different hierarchy.
