Includes Thea Hutcheson's "Cinnamon and Sweat": Opis, one of the fifty daughters of the sea god Nereus, has pulled plenty of drowning sailors from the waves, but never one like Hebrides: handsome, charming, and smelling faintly of cinnamon. He swears a sacrifice in her name, and she dives for the treasures his shipwreck cost him, dreaming of an altar of her own. But mortals, she’s about to learn, don’t always keep their oaths, and a sea nymph’s kindness has a bottom to it.
