Summary

Six years ago, eleven-year-old Vega died in a car crash caused by a drunken driver. The crushing grief created a rift between her fathers, Arn and Fox. The anger burning hot over the unfairness of a young life taken away too soon tore the remains of their little family unit apart, and Arn and Fox went their separate ways.
On the anniversary of Vega's death, they meet again for the first time since their split. The old feelings are still there, as intense as ever, but can they overcome the hurt and find their way back to each other? Or will the absence of their darling girl prove to be too much?

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2026 WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION 
     
    “A gentle and compassionate novel that explores the nuances of queer love and friendship.” The Guardian, Derek Owusu 
     
    “a tenderly written meditation on art, love and life that’s as much about the search for self as for connection.” Marie Claire, editor’s pick 
     
    “Kelly writes the messiness of power dynamics well.” Telegraph 
     
    A creative writing academic falls under the spell of his colleague, a poet whose life seems to shimmer with a freedom he cannot reach. At home, there is Michael: beautiful, steady, safe. But the poet is something else entirely—she is restless, luminous, untouchable. 
     
    As his fixation deepens, the boundaries between admiration, desire and possession begin to blur. The poet, his Kingfisher, draws him further from the life he knows, into a world shaped by art, longing and illusion. 
    Then illness arrives, closing in on them all, and the tightrope he’s been walking starts to sway. 
     
    Kingfisher is a beautifully crafted novel of queer desire and ambition, grief and creativity, and the fine lines between intimacy and obsession.

    Two fated mates bond over their mutual love of comic books, but when one of them discovers his new friend isn’t quite human, will their friendship end or turn into something more? 
    Haruto 
    My first visit to the human realm in decades was… memorable. I visited a comic book store, and made a new friend. Liam was just as geeky as me, and while he might seem scary to humans, all I saw were his sweet smiles and kind gestures. 
    Discovering he was my mate was a surprise, but when Liam didn’t react the way I expected when I accidentally revealed I was a jorogumo, hope unfurled. Maybe he would be the one to accept me exactly as I was. 
    Liam 
    As a comic book geek and lover of fiction, I was excited when Haruto revealed a world of magic to me. Visiting the Sanctuary felt like a dream come true, but more than anything, being with Haruto was what truly felt like a dream. 
    Haruto was sweet, kind, and so very good to me. He took care of me the way I’d always hoped someone would, and it didn’t hurt that he was so much stronger than me. Falling in love with him wouldn’t be a hardship at all. 
    The Jorogumo is a 58k words MM paranormal romance featuring an asexual jorogumo who loves taking care of his partner, a big, strong human with a gentle heart, and a community of supernatural beings living in a safe haven called The Sanctuary. It’s the second book in The Sanctuary: Forest series, and can be read as a standalone.
