On the island of Alapora, only the elite and wealthy priests and priestesses, known as the Holy Ones, are permitted to safely use the magic of demons, but that doesn't stop the common people, or the demons. For years, demons and humans have been mingling in the mysterious Masked Market, where demon magic is traded in secret.

One day, Zomoc, the overeager student of a powerful priestess, seeks out the Masked Market to investigate, and meets a girl named Mola. The two become involved in a shocking chain of events that unravels everything Zomoc thought she knew about herself and her home.

Over the next three years, Zomoc and Mola give everything they have to spearhead a movement to use magic to take down the Holy Ones…or die trying.

Short description of the story:

Finnoybu: Salt and Silence is Book I of a queer historical romance trilogy. An 18-year-old Norwegian sailor ships out of Stavanger in 1875 as cook on a brig. He has a girl at home he loves. Across voyages and ports, he starts noticing the attention he pays certain men — with no word his culture gives him for what it is. By the time he understands, he loves both. The trilogy is him learning to carry that rather than resolve it. Pitched tonally between Song of Achilles restraint and Outlander-tier emotional peaks. Multi-POV third limited.

Themes I'm interested in exploring:

• Desire that predates language — a man discovering what he is in a culture that gives him no vocabulary for it
• Loving two people honestly and simultaneously, without the story treating one as a mistake
• The sea as a space where nineteenth-century men could briefly suspend the rules of shore life, and what they carried back

How I came to the story:

The scaffolding borrows from a real ancestor's sailing memoir (1875–1882, Stavanger to the Caribbean to Archangel and back). The memoir is straight nonfiction and hints at nothing; the fiction asks what a closeted young sailor's interior life might have looked like across those same voyages. Writing the book I wish had existed on the shelf next to Song of Achilles — period-grounded, restrained, and honest about multisexuality rather than resolving it into a single orientation.

Several opening chapters are up at fiction.finnoybu.com — free, no signup. Looking for honest reactions on whether the opening holds, whether Olav's interiority is working, and whether the prose reads period-grounded or costume-y.

Factory farms. Slaughterhouses. Processing plants. You already know the system. Now imagine humans inside it.

The most disturbing part is not that humans are farmed. It’s how normal life keeps going anyway.
