Nora Fischer is
definitely having a bad week. She is
struggling with the final pieces of her dissertation; her boyfriend of four
years has just announced that he is marrying another woman; and, to top it off,
she has just spent a miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding in the
mountains. In an attempt to shake she
wanders up the mountain for an early
morning walk, gets lost, and walks through
a portal into another world. Nora
is transformed from an average looking grad student into a stunning beauty with
fabulous new friends and is married to a handsome prince. Or is she?
When the elegant
veneer shatters, her magical world becomes a dark and dangerous place. Saved from a horrifying fate by a reluctant,
mysterious magician with a troubling past, Nora must learn “real magic” to
survive.
I loved this story,
and the writing flows beautifully from the first few pages. This unreal world feels very real, and is
populated by such deeply imagined characters that I stayed up for several
nights reading. I can’t wait for the
sequel, which is in process.
