“What do you wish for, Arycelle Thorne?”
Everyone knows it isn’t safe to make wishes in the lands above the mist—you never know who might be listening. Since she was a child, Arycelle has been wary of what she’s uttered aloud, though there are a host of things she’d wish for if she could, with her little brother’s health being at the top of the list.
When a harrowing encounter in the woods brings her face to face with a demon, suddenly she’s given the chance to make her unspoken wishes a reality. Despite the feelings blossoming in her heart, the very danger her parents warned her against could provide the solution to all her problems, if she’s willing to pay the price. For no deal comes without a cost, but with her brother’s life hanging in the balance, the only question is just how much she’s willing to trade away.

Reviews
– “Leigh’s world building is on point, and I loved her settings and creatures. I think she has a deft hand for balancing gravity and wit, which made her characters feel richer, with fuller, more grounded relationships. And I ADORED seeing bi and ace rep in this story! It was so nice to escape into a world where the queerness was largely accepted as a normal part of existence. […]
I think this was a really heartfelt story about family and love, with a satisfying and true to the story ending. If you like character-driven stories about love, family, and sacrifice, this story is for you!”
– “That’s a book I enjoyed, against all odds. Too romantic scenes easily bore me. But this story is about choice and sacrifice rather than love, while it is present at every twist. Its strength relies on those powerful dialogues between MCs and those accurate descriptions of what Arycelle truly desires. […]
It’s magic”
