    Summary

    Once he finishes moving his mum into her new care home on the Essex seaside, Martin doesn't know what he's going to do with himself. Who is he, if not a caretaker? Just a guy with two jobs, one empty flat, and zero friends.

    He doesn't expect to find meaning in the shallows of the North Sea.

    He also doesn't expect to meet a mermaid, but hey. Life is nothing if not unpredictable.

    Summary

    Martin takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and says, “I may have … met a god?”

    Sasha blinks at him. “Is that a metaphor, or…?”

    Softly, Martin says, “Their name is Jon.”

    .

    In a historical-esque fantasy world with gods and humans, Martin, a human who works as a librarian and bookbinder, stumbles across a temple full of books and meets Jon, a god of knowledge who’s taken an interest in Martin and wants to get to know him. Martin splits his time between working at the village library alongside Sasha, who’s suspicious of where all the new books are coming from, searching for a cure for his terminally ill mother who seems to dislike him no matter what he does, and visiting the temple to read books and tell stories with Jon. As he spends more and more time with Jon, Martin begins to realize how wonderful it is—but also how difficult it can be—to fall in love with a god.

    Summary

    As they walk to the market, Martin considers just how unfamiliar all of this is to him. It’s a rare occurrence to even hear about a celestial spirit visiting the earthly plane. He knows that the number of times he’s seen Jon, much less spoken to them, is far beyond anything in recorded history.

    Because Jon is—for all intents and purposes—a star. And Martin has quite an impressive crush on them. It should maybe be terrifying, or at the very least remind him of just how very far out of his league Jon is. Instead, it’s … really quite wonderful. Jon is wonderful.

    And now, Martin is going to go grocery shopping with them.

    .

    Or, Martin lives in a little seaside town and meets Jon, a celestial spirit with a fondness for books and human customs. He falls in love with them, even knowing that it's ill-advised and there's no way that Jon could love him in return.

    ... Is there?
