Picus: an Elegy by Raine Fallfish

Picus is a Latian prince and the only mortal son of an overbearing god. Despite his fear, he keeps his relationship with the nymph Canens a secret from his father’s meddling eyes. But when his father gathers a group of suitors for him to choose from, he has a choice: does he protect his safety, or does he protect his love? A novelette retelling Ovid in the tragic tradition.
