“THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARYmeets ÉTOILE in this fairytale-like novella.” Heva Monroe’s destiny was written in the stars, she would be a world famous ballerina, at least that’s what her mother always said. The stage, performance, aching muscles–it’s all she’s ever known from the age of three. Tragically, a life-altering accident steals her ability to dance and Heva’s whole world is shattered. Without ballet, she has nothing.
Now, Heva is living in Foxhollow, a town she’s grown to hate, with her good-for-nothing boyfriend, and no friends of her own. So, late one night when she stumbles upon a cottage in the woods belonging to a witch, Beatrice, she’d be foolish to refuse an opportunity to fix everything wrong in her life.
Heva impulsively follows Beatrice’s instructions to Honeywine Forest where a colony of fae is said to reside willing to help travelers for a price. Heva decides to seek them out with hope to bargain for her desired future. She would give anything to live the life she was meant for.
Will Heva’s pointes hit the grand stage once again or does destiny have something else in store?
“The magic feels subtle and believable, as if it could exist right alongside real life. I found that approach refreshing. If you enjoy coming-of-age stories told through an adult lens, this one is worth your time.” -Early Reader Review
