  Down in the dusty tomes vault of Bookhaven, where bookbinders glue riddles into bindings and rare book collectors hunt for volumes of the vanished, binder Theo binds a mystery with collector Lira, whose hunts uncover a narrative of pilfered pages. Their book, glued in page vows and tome-kissed spines, binds truth—or cracks in adhesive doubts of forgery. As they catalog through vault-laced shelves and riddle-bound folios, bound by ink wardens and volume rivals, Theo's binding craft merges with Lira's collecting passion, revealing a bookbinder legend of bound tale. When a loose page summons ink golems, they must glue the riddle to seal the story. In the bind of bookbinder's glue, where every secret pages the plot and every hunt turns the leaf, their gentle mystery becomes the volume that shelves the vault's enigmas.

  My life on Earth was falling apart. I had just lost my mother to a short and sudden battle with cancer and was still struggling to recover when my husband decided to inform me that he was leaving me for another woman. Couldn't get much worse than that, right? Wrong. Because then I was abducted by aliens. 
   
   
   
  I got lucky though, my story had a happy ending. Me and the other girls, we got rescued and taken to a beautiful planet to live deep in an uninhabited rainforest. As far as alien abductions go, it was all fairly picturesque. And that's how I got a fresh start in life. Fresh except for my baggage, of course. But I'm an optimist and this time around I'm determined to get things right, to find my own happiness in life . . . Hell, maybe I'll even find a little romance. 
   
   
   
  When one sexy, golden alien takes notice of me I think I've found what I'm looking for. But then his brother becomes smitten as well and that's when things start to get messy. I'm not looking to enter a love triangle. I know the pain of a broken heart and I refuse to be the cause of one—or two, as the case may be. The only thing? Sharing my affection doesn't seem to bother these guys. As a matter of fact, sharing seems to be their goal.

  Ray Bradbury & Leigh Brackett:...

  Published in Planet Stories in 1946, this story is a great mix of Golden Age Sci Fi and Swords & Sorcery. The first half was written by Brackett and when she was pulled away by other commitments the publisher gave it to a new writer, Ray Bradbury, to finish. It is a sort of prequel to the Stark character developed by Brackett where a weak puny man is transferred into the body of a Conan like superman and then cruses through adventure after adventure, always rescuing damsels who are tough and feisty. The publisher blurb says "He died—and then awakened in a new body. He found himself on a world of bizarre loveliness, a powerful, rich man. He took pleasure in his turn of good luck ... until he discovered that his new body was hated by all on this strange planet, that his soul was owned by Rann, devil-goddess of Falga, who was using him for her own gain.
