In Nuama, winged women rule and men are trained in the domestic and pleasure arts. Nuama After Dark follows women who cross over from the hellrealm, exhausted and braced for the worst, and are met instead with abundance, safety, and as much pleasure as they want.

Embrace of the Serpent — Book One

Yaneah has spent annums making herself smaller to fit the man who controls her, in a village where the father god’s men run the docks. She goes to sleep in Moreton under one moon and wakes in Nuama under two, in a world where nobody has ever asked her to take up less room.

Open-door · women and men · ends with her staying, two lovers, and all of Nuama still to choose from · free

Kiss of the Serpent — Book Two

Lireah wakes facedown in moss with no memory of how she got there and, for the first time she can remember, a body that doesn’t hurt. At a temple beneath a waterfall she is fed, bathed, and looked at by a dark-haired man with green eyes who has been told to wait until she asks.

Open-door · one man, taking his time · ends happily-for-now

Caress of the Serpent — Book Three

Riava wakes under one sun instead of two, in grass the colour of the inside of a shell, with wings she did not have yesterday. She decides to say nothing about where she’s from and leave at the first opportunity. She stays considerably longer than she planned.

Open-door · a young lioness adopts her · ends happily-for-now

Desire of the Serpent — Book Four

Oasene wakes on warm white ground with wings longer than she is tall, and is taken somewhere that exists for exactly one purpose — by women who assume she already knows what she wants, and are delighted to help her find out.

The most explicit of the five · more than one at a time · ends satisfied, and holding a question she can’t answer yet
