Gerda and Tondra: Siblings in Arms

Introducing a new sibling pair from the upcoming epic fantasy novel, Crystals of Ulstra.

Crystals of Ulstra is a queer-normative epic fantasy novel coming December 4.

I’ve spent a lot of time introducing you to the romantic pairings from the book. But there are so many other relationships to share, including multiple pairs of siblings. One of those pairs is Gerda and Tondra, who hail from Zirkono Minado.

Gerda is a crystal seeker tasked with locating and conserving the world’s precious gems for magic and healing. Their older sister, Tondra, is a battle-tested Gardistona captain who leads a special forces unit. When Gerda is kidnapped by Royalists and swept into the war, Tondra must save them—and teach them to fight back.

You can read more of Gerda and Tondra in Crystals of Ulstra this December!
