"Do you just naturally ooze this much charming hostility, or is it, like, a perfume you marinate in daily?"

"Push me further, and you'll soon find yourself on a rather personal basis with the lethal tips of my hunting blades."

       Imagine a world where every breath isn't counted, every heartbeat isn't measured, and every day isn't a gift but a given. For Chrys Brier and her faithful calico companion Penny Lane, such a world is nothing more than a pipe dream sketched in the margins of their hospital-bound life. Diagnosed with a rare, nameless disease, Chrys has been the block's quintessential "sick girl" - her only constant being the motorboat purrs of Penny curled up beside her, tending to the record store and cafe where she resides, and crafting custom guitars with meticulous care.

    While most twenty somethings chase wild nights and romances, Chrys can only watch the vibrant world continue on without her, anchored to a relentless cycle of hospital visits, medical trials, and a worsening condition. No disastrous Tinder dates, she can't even go outside most of the time without an entourage of nurses until fate throws her a curveball...

     in the form of a cryptic email.

      After yet another emergency, Chrys receives a message from an off-brand "healer" in rural England promising the cure of the century. It's reckless, it's tempting, and a fortune to take Penny, but she's desperate enough to book a one-way ticket to the pastoral unknown. She should've known it was too good to be true.

    𝐀 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝

    The "quack" turns out to be the real deal, but instead of a cure, one sip of his nasty potion launches Chrys and Penny into the magical realm of Prythian. Here, amidst whispering shadows and ruthless faeries, humans are prey - and thanks to Penny's hisses, they're the utmost catch. With no allies and danger stalking their every turn, Chrys has two choices: accept the protection of the iron-willed High Lord of the Spring Court or become a midnight snack for the dark forces haunting his lands.

    As Chrys navigates this new world of beauty and peril, she encounters unlikely allies and deadly monsters...even the occasional bat-shit crazy allies like Feyre, a human huntress bound to the same court for heartlessly spilling fae blood, whose wicked rope tying skills make Chrys's heart flutter until the Spring Court's peaceful facade shatters.

    𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞

    Whispers of treachery and deceit fill the air, pulling Chrys into an ancient vendetta with Penny always by her side. With every shocking revelation, her choices grow narrower, leading down a harrowing path where right and wrong blur. Bound by a bargain and caught between worlds, Chrys must decide what she's willing to sacrifice for a life no longer defined by sickness. Because in Prythian, even miracles demand a price...and the cost may be more than she can pay.

    Join Chrys and her cat Penny Lane on a spellbinding journey where danger, romance, and adventure await at every turn. If you loved the mystical allure of A Court of Thorns and Roses, this imaginative re-imagining will sweep you off your feet and back into the world of Prythian.
