Inkspell & Thornlight

Some stories are meant to be read. Others are meant to be lived.

Ciara Ellis's life is a monotony of coffee and rude customers-until she opens a rare, leather-bound copy of a renowned fantasy book. In a heartbeat, the coffee shop vanishes, replaced by the damp moss and ancient trees of the Whisperwood.

Thrust into a dying land where a curse lingers, Ciara meets Cassius, a golden-haired nobleman who offers her protection and a way home. All she has to do is help him infiltrate the castle of Prince Lumiere, a ruler rumored to be as wicked as he is reclusive.

But as Ciara navigates a court of secrets and shadows, she realizes that things aren't always as they seem. The 'wicked prince' is a broken man, and her charming savior hides a darkness of his own. Worse still, the realm is changing her.

Ciara is no longer just an avid reader; she is the key to Rhylaha's salvation. But to break the curse that binds the kingdom, she must unravel a web of betrayal that spans generations; and choose between the man who offered her a fairy tale and the one who offers her the truth.
