A desperate wish. A creature shrouded in myth. A perilous journey to the heart of what it means to truly live...
There is no greater pain than a wish unfulfilled- a truth Elodie Mercer and Sebastian Beringer know all too well. After four long years of trying for a child, Elodie's hopes of motherhood have all but consumed her. She's convinced a baby will save her loveless marriage and help banish her husband's demons. Sebastian's suffered his own secret pain-watching Elodie married to the wrong man for all these years.
So when a stranger comes to their quiet village with a fantastical tale of a mythical, wish-granting creature, Elodie latches onto the story as her salvation. Driven by the desperate desire to see their wishes fulfilled, Elodie and Sebastian embark on a dangerous quest to find the Wish-Eater, only to discover that there are things worse than a wish unfulfilled, after all.
From the author of the Confectioner Chronicles comes a stand-alone fairy tale romance that explores the complexities of love and family, the true flavor of folklore, and the cost of the slow erosion of hope.
