the night of yuletide pirates

The famed pirate San Sabel feels bad about having her crew beat up the priest outside the tavern. To assuage her guilt, she decides to give the orphanage the best darn Yule festival they’ve ever seen—except the pirates might have to raid the town in order to gather everything they need.

“The Night of Yuletide Pirates” is set in the world of Efre Ousel with a character from The Dryad’s Crown and a character who will appear in The Summer Sword (2025).
