2024 Nebula Award Finalist for Best Novelette

When an unusual book with gold lettering along its spine stops working, a grieving young man discovers it's not a typical electronic volume, but something far rarer—a "dead book" that cannot be altered or updated. After the death of his mother, he finds himself drawn to a mysterious video store called The Brotherhood of Montague St., where the owner Alaric and his colleagues collect and preserve physical artifacts from a world increasingly dominated by mutable digital content. As he brings the book to their attention, he's warned that not everyone appreciates unchangeable things.

The Four Sisters Overlooking The Sea is a mesmerizing tale about the cost of compromise and the power of reclamation. With lyrical prose and unforgettable characters, Naomi Kritzer weaves together contemporary realism and ancient myth to explore how easily we can become trapped in lives that no longer serve us—and what it takes to break free. As Morgan rediscovers her passion for research and the natural world, she confronts the betrayal at the heart of her marriage and the question of what she owes herself versus what she owes her family. When a confrontation by the sea brings these tensions to a breaking point, Morgan must choose between the life she's built and the life she once dreamed of.

When an unwanted, muddy apprentice collapses at her doorstep in the middle of a stormy night, the wizard Firion's carefully constructed solitude begins to crumble. All she wants is peace and quiet in her cave overlooking the coastal village of Weystone. What she gets instead is a timid young man named Cane with a broken tooth, faltering confidence, and unexpected magical potential. But Firion harbors a devastating secret: her own magic has inexplicably vanished, leaving her powerless to face the approaching threat she alone has protected the village from for decades—the Bouldus, an ancient sea dragon whose periodic raids have terrorized Weystone for generations. In this enchanting fantasy novella, Premee Mohamed weaves a tale about the unexpected ways we find strength when we feel most vulnerable. As Firion desperately tries to maintain her reputation while guiding her unexpected apprentice, she discovers that teaching can sometimes be the most powerful magic of all. With dry humor and poignant insight, "By Salt, By Sea, By Light of Stars" explores what it means to lose an essential part of yourself—whether through age, circumstance, or simple bad luck—and how to find purpose and identity in that loss. Through the unlikely partnership between a gruff, aging wizard and her hesitant student, Mohamed demonstrates that true magic often emerges not from grand gestures, but from the small, significant ways we learn to trust and rely on one another.
