Januaries : stories of magic & betrayal / Olivie Blake.

Summary:

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes Januaries, a collection of short fiction featuring fourteen magical ruminations on life, death, and the love -- or desire for revenge -- that outlasts both. Once upon a time in a land far, far away, a wish-granting spirit rapidly approaches burnout. Meanwhile, a banished fairy answers a Craigslist ad, a Victorian orphan navigates an occult situationship, and a multiverse assassin contemplates the one who got away. With both iconic fan-favorite stories and entirely original pieces, Januaries features modified fairy tales, contemporary heists, absurdist poetry, and at least one set of actual wedding vows. Escape the slow trudge of mortality by diving into these enchanting new worlds with a master of imagination"-- Provided by publisher.
