Names of My Beloved

The sequel to Wishbone.

After four years stationed as a diplomat and a spy in human lands, Shieh Yeras returns home, bringing Wishbone, the young human male who has become his property and his lover. He expects to cause a stir among shih-aan, who still believe that humans are mere animals.

More of Wishbone’s world.

Styrax is a talented piece of property. Born of a wealthy clan, he has a kyashan’s ring through his ear and a master healer’s ring on the smallest finger of his left hand.
