A DESPERATE GIRL WITH EVERYTHING TO LOSE. A CURSED MAN BOUND BY ANCIENT BARGAINS. A FINAL WISH THAT COULD SAVE THEM BOTH—OR SHATTER HER SOUL FOREVER. In a crumbling village at the edge of the kingdom, Serena turns to the ancient Well of Wishes and makes a dangerous plea for help. That night, a stranger answers—one who can weave her whispered hopes into gold and grain, but only at a terrible cost. Each wish demands a secret, a memory, a piece of her very soul. As Serena’s bargains mount, she discovers the stranger is no ordinary man but a prisoner of the Well, cursed to grant wishes until someone dares to break the spell. To free them both, Serena must uncover his true name before she loses herself completely. But wishes have teeth—and some bargains were never meant to be broken. NARRATED BY THE AUTHOR. Perfect for fans of Rumpelstiltskin retellings, magical bargains, and heart-aching love stories.
