At the Heart of Trickery

The biggest festival in Stratford, North Carolina approaches: a Midwinter celebration of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. In the midst of the excitement, the magical powers around town swell. And Chandra--a transwoman witch in hiding--once again finds it impossible to hide.

"This year will be different," Chandra says to her tabby, a feral cat who one day appeared out of nowhere. Just then, a friendly stranger by the name of Apple appears at Chandra's window, reaches out...and offers the ability to travel to a whole new world. 

What will Chandra choose? 

To pass through the portal, and disappear for good...or might she ever find more to Stratford than meets the eye?
