Welcome to Stories from Among the Stars, the Science Fiction Anthology series home to bold

characters, daring adventures, and smart, compelling science fiction and fantasy.

Our next season is about to launch, and if you've enjoyed what you've heard of this show so far,

we know you'll love this one.

This season, we return with a favorite for the fairy tale lovers out there,

T. Kingfisher's beloved, Nettle and Bone.

This isn't the kind of fairy tale where the princess marries a prince.

It's the one where she kills him. Mara never wanted to be a

hero. As the shy, convent-raised third-born daughter, she escaped the traditional fate of princesses

to be married away for the sake of an uncaring throne. But her sister wasn't so fortunate.

And after years of silence, Mara is done watching her suffer at the hands of a powerful

and abusive prince.

Seeking help for her rescue mission, Mara is offered the tools she needs, but only if she

can complete three seemingly impossible tasks.

Build a dog of bones,

sew a cloak of nettles,

capture moonlight in a jar.

But, as is the way in tales of princes and witches,

doing the impossible is only the beginning. Hero or not, now joined by a

disgraced ex-night, a reluctant fairy godmother, an enigmatic grave witch and her fowl familiar,

Mara might finally have the courage to save her sister and topple a throne.

We'll release new episodes every Tuesday and Friday beginning July 1st,
