Elixir: Stories of Hope and Healing

For those looking to escape, discover, heal, and believe, Elixir will take you to worlds where light always finds its way.\n"I wish that Young Me got to read something so hopeful when she was crying, upset from struggling with her sexuality. To see queer stories with positivity, with characters that are flawed but deserving of happy endings, it’s something that I think we all need, regardless or age or if we’ve got our whole life figured out or not. In a time like today, this beacon of light made me feel warm inside." -Melissa Karibian, author of A Song of Silver and Gold\nElixir is a collection of LGBT science fiction fantasy stories themed in hope and healing. If you've ever wanted characters to go through the ringer but end happy regardless, this is the escape you've been looking for. Featuring space travelers, aliens, witches, alternate realities, alternate planets, mermaids, and demon hunters, Elixir very well has something for everyone.\nWith original stories from:
