Description
Description
"I dreamed no dreams, loved no one, lost nothing but what I destroyed with my own hands."
Kahna's blood is poison and death. Still, she longs for the touch of another human being.
Caenlux has slain all rival gods, but a champion from another world dares challenge him.
The laces, the comb, the apple-were these the Queen's weapons, or the Mirror's?
Welcome to the fantasy worlds and dark fairy tales of Y.M. Pang. For the first time, sixteen acclaimed stories and poems are gathered in one collection.
Join the tribulations of a traumatized assassin, an unfortunate innkeeper, a heartless fisherwoman, and a weary immortal, alongside familiar faces from fairy tales and mythology. In All the Broken Blades, mortals prove deadlier than gods, princes long to be merfolk, and happy endings are not guaranteed.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This collection is a journey: beautiful, complex, unexpected. Y.M. Pang will unapologetically punch your heart while filling it with hope. Masterfully done!"
- Marie Bilodeau, bestselling author of Nigh
"All the Broken Blades is a collection filled with new fairy tales, as well as twists on those familiar, perfect for readers to savour under an ancient tree. Pang weaves the whimsical and wondrous and witty with the dark yet romantic to explore themes of royalty and duty, love and fragility, familial aches, and memories lost and found, taken and given away."
- Ai Jiang, Nebula and Stoker Award-winning author of Linghun
"Vivid, lyrical, bold in voice, and resonant in relationships, Y.M. Pang's stories showcase the humanity in a despondent prince in a fishgirl tale; a god fighting his eternal-warrior lover, the champion of another god; and a tool of murder's reality dissolving as she struggles to retain her humanity."
- Scott H. Andrews, twelve-time Hugo Award finalist and editor-in-chief of Beneath Ceaseless Skies
