From late 2021 to all of 2022, Alina Lee wrote and published one short story a week on her blog. These stories ranged from fantasy adventures like What is Promised or The Sword Collector to genre mashups like the cyberpunk-wuxia hybrid Oathbreaker or science fantasy yarn A Final Insult. She also wrote stories that were designed like character snapshots and sketches, such as The Tired Commuter and Abby. Her stories also explored human relationships and the complications inherent to them in stories like In the Rain and Mountains to Climb.

For the first time, the majority of these stories are now in a single compilation, organized by genre or according to the recurring worlds that appear in her stories. This compilation also contains additional stories that have not been published before.
