Sword and Lute — Cate Rowan

Can love heal an immortal's wounds?

Slashed by a cursed sword, the god Taso feels his immortality gushing into the grass. He escapes death only by transforming into stone. Centuries later, the very mortal musician Amara stumbles across the stone and inadvertently morphs Taso back into his dying body. To save him, she must sacrifice her precious lute and her life-long dream… but in return, she and Taso might find their hearts' desire.

Sword and Lute is a 16,000-word novelette about the immortal twin founders of verdant Teganne and desert Kad, two rival realms divided by magic -- yet bound by blood, mistrust, and love.
