Amelia Lynn likes books. Working for Mr. Proodle at the local bookshop specializing in book repair is an absolute dream job. Being able to handle precious books on folklore, fantasy, and art makes her happy. Restoring them gives her life a wonderful purpose. Between her work, her best friend, and her small family, she is content. But one night it all comes crashing down. Her father, William Lynn, makes a devastating confession: Amelia's life is owned by a magical being who means to claim her on her twentieth birthday, whisking her away from everything she knows and loves. The reason behind this contract: to save her younger brother's life. In a cruel twist of fate, the fairy tales she adores are now seeping into her life, threatening to upend everything she cares about. With the arrival of the alluring and mysterious Lawrence Montgomery at the bookshop, Amelia hopes that she has found a true confidant, someone to genuinely help her in her pursuit of breaking her contract. Time is running out.
