A "ghost" who's much more than a "free spirit;" a young knight who is pledged to slay the perpetrators of hideous crimes; a lighthouse keeper's wife who must light the lamps that will guide her lover home; a woman who falls in love with the fiery, untouchable goddess of the volcano; and a sorceress who, after falling on hard times, is quested by the queen with finding the sister who stole the queen's husband - these are the women of love and magic whose stories are told in Luna Ascending: Stories of Love and Magic.
