Vol 9: Artemis
In this volume of O’Connor’s series, we learn of Artemis’s life, from the moment she is conceived to several famous stories in Greek mythology. Zeus seduced the Greek maiden Leto, who bore twins Artemis and Apollo. As Hera was filled with jealousy, Leto’s childbirth was not easy. When Artemis first meets her celestial father, she asks him specifically for many things, including nymphs to be her attendants, wild lands filled with animals to hunt, and to never have to marry or know the touch of a man. In this way, Artemis became the maiden goddess of the wild hunt, and is also a goddess over difficult childbirth. Several other stories are presented, including Artemis and Niobe and Artemis and Orion.

Three witch sisters — Juniper, Lily, and Clover — celebrate the Harvest Fest with many other magical creatures. The next morning, they wake to a frantic villager, Mrs. Fiddelneck, who is distraught over the death of her special crops and the theft of her family heirloom teapot she used to water them. The village depends on her special crops and, so her worry is not without reason. The prime suspect is a kelpie, which leads the three witches on a magical mermaid transformation and an undersea investigation.
In a peaceful village on an island, the Bao’ré people have a long tradition of martial arts that prioritize nonviolence and peace over killing and shows of strength. Kelí, the younger son of the king, is anxiously awaiting the spring festival and his next opportunity to participate in the village’s ceremony to prove he is ready to become a man. This will allow him to begin in earnest his study and practice of Katafali, the sacred martial art, and get him that much closer to his lifelong dream of becoming a member of the King’s guard. But his emotions and impatience lead to serious problems and grave punishments.
