My WIP novel The Azure Mirage is now on Tapas!

The timid amnesiac Lapis is desperate to remember who she was. Hoping that her music will help fill the gaps in her memory, she aims to perform as a bard- though a severe case of stage fright has stopped her plan in its tracks. When the flamboyant bard Zephyr arrives in town, glowing with a light that only she can see, she takes an apprenticeship under him to try and conquer her fears. Little does she know, unlocking her missing memories might bring even more trouble to her doorstep... Meanwhile... Laz, an assassin in service to the powerful Lady Vastra, is desperate to escape their master's clutches after a job goes horribly wrong. When an unusual encounter acquaints them with the coffee-loving barista Leon, the two plot an escape plan to break them free of Vastra's control- and avoid them getting killed in the process.

I've been slowly but surely poking at this story and I'm finally comfy enough to start posting chapters publicly! The first 4 chapters are now available to read for free, and I'll be posting chapters here periodically as I finish them!
