From publisher blurb: Little Mackerel grew up in Auspicious Haven, one of the Blessed Isle’s prominent western harbors. Exalted by Venus, the Sidereal is now an iron-wrought shark, rather than a little mackerel. She remembers what it’s like to be overlooked and unimportant, though, and earnestly protects Creation’s small folk. Sometimes that means adjudicating disputes and advocating for compromise. Most times, it means bludgeoning threats with her mace-like chuí. Iron Siaka takes primal pleasure in combat, though she tells herself she would happily hang up her weapon if peace and harmony reigned.
