I am trans, so to see a book of folk tales centered around trans protagonists is something unusual and delightful for me. Trigger warnings and neopronoun pronunciation guides are provided for each story. Note: No trans or nonbinary characters were killed in the making of this book. These prophecies recognize and acknowledge each character's gender, even when others do not. These heroes and heroines emerge from adversity into triumph, recognizing they can be more than they ever imagined: chosen ones of destiny.įrom the author of the Earthside series and the Rewoven Tales novels, No Man of Woman Born is a collection of seven fantasy stories in which transgender and nonbinary characters subvert and fulfill gendered prophecies. A little girl willing to battle a dragon for the sake of a wish. A young resistance fighter questioning everything he's ever known. A princess laboring under an unbreakable curse. A daughter claiming the legacy denied her. A son seeking vengeance for his father's death. A clever hedge-witch gathering knowledge in a hostile land. A quiet fisher mourning the loss of her sister to a cruel dragon.
