Publisher Description

A LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVELLA

Award-winning author C.S.E. Cooney indulges in luxurious, dizzying fantasy

In Desdemona and the Deep, the spoiled daughter of a rich mining family must retrieve the tithe of men her father promised to the world below. On the surface, her world is rife with industrial pollution that ruins the health of poor factory workers while the idle rich indulge themselves in unheard-of luxury. Below are goblins, mysterious kingdoms, and an entirely different hierarchy.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“Such a great story about fairyland and friendship! I loved that this seemed to be playing with the story of redeeming the tithe and also a little with portal fantasy at the same time. The goblin-folk were creepy while still being compellingly and at times endearingly people. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I will just say that I was pleased with the ending. I really want to read C. S. E. Cooney's other stories set in this world.”
