The Unbearable Taste of Fruit and Wine (Android Press) is the new speculative novella by R.S.A. Garcia, author of adventure-fantasy novel The Nightward. Inspired by elements of Greek mythology, Garcia’s latest publication focuses on Iris, a loyal but wistful conscript to the service of the Archmagus, a mysterious, powerful figure who rescued Iris in her youth. A chance encounter with a thief outside of Iris’s cloistered world reveals an enigmatic, but potentially dizzying new pathway, if she has the fortitude — or temerity — to pursue it.
