Tiyva Stitches the Sky

“Tiyva Seams the Sky” — a novella by Marina Komarova from the cycle “To Fly to Winter,” combining romantic, humorous, and adventurous fantasy.

I’m a noeyte, I practice domestic magic, and on my lot fell immediately three misfortunes: a deer kleptomaniac that steals everything that isn’t nailed down; a polar owl who is certain she’s smarter than everyone in the North; and a gloomy, dazzlingly handsome shaman Isku whose smile makes my knees go weak.

And if that weren’t enough, the very sky is cracking at the seams and about to fall apart—so it needs to be urgently stitched up. I dreamed of a quiet life in the tundra and repairing charms, but instead I got an apocalypse threat, a talkative owl, and love. Spirits of the North, your sense of humor is clearly for amateurs.
