Codex Memoriae

In days gone by . . .

Oda Nobunaga. Mary, Queen of Scots. Tybalt, Prince of Cats. Award-winning author Marie Brennan’s second collection of historical fantasy features Romantic poets, Valencian sailors, and Heian monks, in a set of seven tales and two poems stretching through eight centuries and all the way around the globe. Journey into a history both familiar and changed, where one step to the side will reveal a hidden past . . .

My second collection of historical fantasy will be out in January 2027!
