Excerpt: Unnamed

In a lot of ancient myths and legends, names have huge importance. Knowing someone’s true name gives you power over them; whether it’s a benign power or a harmful one is dependent on the myth in question, although the latter tends to outnumber the former.
So I’m not going to tell you her name. I’m not going to name anyone in this tale, if I can avoid it.
Because sometimes myths aren’t just stories. And sometimes stories are truer than we’d like.
