The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water

A queer wuxia novella set in a war-torn, fantastical Malaya. Guet Imm, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, is turned out of her coffeehouse job after a brawl and talks her way into a band of rough mercenaries who call themselves "contractors."

Their wary second-in-command, Tet Sang, guards a secret—and a set of sacred relics from a destroyed monastery—that could get them all killed. As the group treks across bandit-haunted country to sell the relics, disguises slip, old faith resurfaces, and loyalties are tested. A warm, funny, quietly profound adventure about found family and devotion.
