Welcome to the Tumblr for Licorice and Mint. A queer urban fantasy series written by Stacey Mahuna and Sonja Calhoun
Set in the city New Darpana Bay, which mirrors our world but blends magic with modern technology. Orcs, Humans, Elves, Dwarves and other fantastic races. closer to dreams they both never thought possible.
Nat is an Aasimar running a Free Clinic in The Silks of New Darpana Bay. An area as far away from her home and culture as she's ever known. Vola is a Half-Orc hunter, who sees the streets as just one more place for monsters to hide. One night, a hunt gone bad brings the two together. As Nat sees the truth of the world outside Church walls, she plunges deeper into her sexuality and a culture deemed evil by her people. While Vola finds it harder to accept that the only things in her future is drugs, blood and an inevitable forgettable death. That maybe magic can be more than a weapon.
As their lives become more tangled, change and hardship bring them closer to dreams they both never thought possible.
Sometimes falling from grace and rising from the ashes is just a matter of perspective and gravity.
===========================================
We just completed Book 1, and are currently working on Book 2. With each book we run an anthology of stories called Tales From New Darpana Bay. These stories center on the supporting cast and occur within and around the main story. We encourage you read along with not only our girls, Nat and Vola but their friends, found family and foes.
We plan to use this Tumblr to help expand on the world of Licorice and Mint, along with providing updates to readers on what is in the works.
Thank you for Reading, and remember, always be silk, and not glass.
