Labyrinth meets The Magicians in the opening to a darkly enchanting coming-of-age tale about love, family legacy, and finding your own path.
Growing up as the daughter of a famous, dead writer hasn’t been easy for Tessa Williams. Her house is decrepit and her father is still grieving her mother Juliet, who died young. Rumors swirl that writing her books—a series of children’s fantasy novels set in a world called Kingdom—is what actually killed Juliet. Her last book seems unfinished, and fans insist there’s a missing third installment.
An outcast at school, Tessa’s popular boyfriend Alec has stuck by her for years. And when he unexpectedly proposes on the night of her graduation party, something strange happens as Tessa puts the engagement ring on.
She goes to Kingdom.
Tessa finds herself in a castle, face to face with The Owl King, the enigmatic love interest from her mother’s books. He’s as magnetic as he is mysterious, and the magical life he shows Tessa is straight from Juliet’s pages. But there’s a price.
Because the throne The Owl King offers isn’t as perfect as it first seems. And as the boundaries between her two worlds blur, Tessa must search for the conclusion of her mother’s story before she loses her heart—and possibly her life—to the darkness waiting for her in Kingdom.
