Upon A Time: A surreal fairy tale about memory, meaning, and waking up.

By Grace Young

Upon A Time

A fairy tale that changes every morning. A girl who feels too real to be imagined. A hero who just wants out.

Ryan wakes up each day inside a different storybook world. Some days he's a prince, other days a huntsman, a thief, or a knight. The one constant? The girl he's always trying to save. But nothing about this feels like a dream anymore, and the endings never seem to stick.

As the tales start to break apart and the lines between fantasy and memory begin to blur, Ryan must figure out what's real, what's imagined, and why he keeps waking up in the first place.

Told with heart, humor, and a hint of magic, Upon A Time is a mysterious novel about love, identity, relationships, and the stories that shape us. A cross between a literary fairy tale and a psychological adventure. Perfect for readers who enjoy modern fairy tales, dreamlike fiction, philosophical thought experiments, and emotionally layered stories with a touch of magic.

For fans of The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, or Life of Pi. Start reading Upon A Time today and fall into a world you might already know... or never want to leave.
