This is a preview of Courting Hellfire, the novel I should *not* be working on right now. There's a lot in it about trans people fleeing hostile jurisdictions—or surviving while remaining in them—and some days I need to write about that anyway.
I don't want to reveal how religion works in this universe yet, so I chose a bit from chapter 3 that does not give that away.
The narrator is Attis (they/them). Joan is their ship's theologian.
