A Tail of Two Deities
(2025)(The second book in the Light Fantastic 2: Amazing Pets series)
A Story by Jade Kerrion
When your destiny is to become the legendary Dog avatar, you expect to transform into something fierce—maybe a majestic hound, maybe a divine beast. Instead, Amon-Tlán gets... a Chihuahua. Now he’s stuck on a yacht full of powerful shape-shifters, trying to look dignified while literally pocket-sized, with only a sarcastic kitten for backup.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHORQ - What is The Light Fantastic 2?
A - In The Light Fantastic 2: Amazing Pets, ten authors unite to bring laughter, chuckles, giggles, guffaws, and amusement to the masses amidst speculative twists and turns. Literary comedic geniuses like Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Swift, Helen Fielding, Terry Pratchett, Gail Carriger, Mark Twain, and Oscar Wilde inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest for gold, exploring every facet from dark humor to slapstick, deadpan to satire, dry humor to parody, and anything else we might consider a tickler of funny bones. The stories fall into fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres, but they do get up again and brush themselves off. This is the seventh project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors.
Q - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in The Light Fantastic 2?
A - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. The book description will explain the premise for each particular story.
About the AuthorAt 3 a.m., when her husband and three sons are asleep, USA Today best-selling author JADE KERRION weaves unforgettable characters into unexpected stories.
Her debut science fiction novel, PERFECTION UNLEASHED, won six literary awards and launched the DOUBLE HELIX series which blends cutting-edge genetic engineering and high-octane action with an unforgettable romance between an alpha empath and an assassin.
Readers continue their adventures in this dystopian Earth with the spin-off futuristic thriller series DOUBLE HELIX CASE FILES, starting with MIRIYA.
The DAUGHTER OF AIR and LORD OF THE OCEAN series, beginning with CURSED TIDES, blends fairy tales and mythology into urban fantasy. It’s the story you always wanted to read: The Little Mermaid finally kicks ass!
Jade's award-winning fantasy novel, ETERNAL NIGHT, draws you in the post-apocalyptic world of AETERNAE NOCTIS where humans—victims of a war between immortals—are about to tip the balance.
Jade's devious plan for world domination begins with making all her readers as sleep deprived as she is.
