Undertow
A novella.
Note: This novella takes place at the same time as events in Fallow (Whyborne & Griffin 8).
Shy secretary Maggie Parkhurst knows there’s nothing special about her. She’s neither sorceress, nor fighter, nor scholar. What could she possibly have to offer Persephone, the chieftess of the inhuman ketoi — and the woman Maggie’s fallen in love with?
After Maggie’s friend Irene goes missing under mysterious circumstances, she has no choice but to turn to Persephone for help. When the trail leads to a shadowy acting troupe, they discover a plot that stretches much farther than a single vanished woman.
But when a dark truth is revealed, Maggie must choose between a man from her past... and the impossible yearnings of her heart.

Jordan L. Hawk
Jordan L. Hawk didn’t set out to become one of the most beloved voices in queer paranormal fiction—but once they began weaving tales of haunted pasts, dangerous rituals, and fiercely loyal love, there was no turning back. Blending supernatural suspense with rich emotional depth, their stories have quietly reshaped the landscape of LGBTQ+ speculative fiction, drawing readers into worlds where magic, monsters, and romance coexist in perfect tension.
Raised in North Carolina, Hawk grew up steeped in folklore and ghost stories, the kind whispered across porches and remembered from yellowed pages. That early fascination with things lurking just beyond the veil shaped their storytelling instincts, but it was their passion for character-driven narratives that gave their work its pulse. Whether conjuring eldritch horrors or reimagining Victorian settings, Hawk always centers the fragile, complex humanity within the fantastical.
