'I showed up for the fantastic, fun fantasy setting but it was Hart and Mercy that kept me reading.' -Ruby Dixon 'A little sweet, a little spicy, a little sharp and entirely moreish!' -Davinia Evans 'I cried twice and smiled plenty.' -Olivia Atwater 'An unabashedly offbeat adventure.' -Freya Marske 'Truly outstanding romantic fantasy.' -India Holton Set in a world full of magic and demigods, donuts and small-town drama, this enchantingly quirky, utterly unique fantasy is perfect for readers of The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Invisible Library. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares-each other? As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. If only Hart knew he's been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most-Mercy. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born. She's been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.Īfter yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to 'A Friend'.

It's an unforgiving job, and Hart's got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness. Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria.

If you ever wished for an adult romance that felt like Howl's Moving Castle, THIS IS THAT BOOK.' -Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient

'A uniquely charming mixture of whimsy and the macabre that completely won me over.
