A whimsical adventure full of magic, fantastical road trips, and a sapphic slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance--for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries. All magic begins in stories. That's what Fae princess Hyacinth has always been told. As the unmagical daughter of Queen Mab, Hyacinth has never fit in at her mother's court. She hopes that if she learns about her father, who disappeared fifteen years ago, she can finally learn more about herself. When Hyacinth and her friend Chloe--a human stablehand trapped in Fae--sneak off to a riverside night market, Hyacinth learns that her father was last seen heading to a library at the heart of a treacherous labyrinth. The problem: The labyrinth was built long ago by three goddesses, and no one has ever returned from it. Still, Hyacinth has to try. With the help of Chloe and a tiny dragon named Coffee, she defies Queen Mab and sets off into the wilds of the Moonshadow Kingdom. Along the way they face bandits, magical creatures, a centuries-old human who hosts an Endless Ball, and Hyacinth and Chloe's growing feelings for each other. Meanwhile, an ancient power lies in wait at the center of the labyrinth, and it is eager to write the girls' ending.
