Other Lives collects three short stories set in secondary worlds by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. In “Mirror Life,” the beautiful Miranda hopes for a marriage to a rich nobleman, but a dark secret threatens her happiness. “King of Sand and Stormy Seas” focuses on a mercenary recently returned home. “Salt” tells the story of a young woman who has lost her magic powers. Moreno-Garcia’s tales usually utilize Latin American settings and folklore. Other Lives therefore offers a glimpse at a different kind of tale.
