She’s a broke, sleep-deprived romance writer with a looming 10k-word deadline. She doesn’t get kidnapped—she gets blessed with a luminescent, crying, Tang-dressed fairy who insists she “must stay.” Abigail Carvalho wanted quiet, coffee, and uninterrupted updates. Instead she wakes to a dagger at her throat, a green halo in her face, and a tiny immortal who thinks bestselling melodrama is the only religion. The fairy is clueless about modern life, eats instant noodles like royalty, and can’t stop glowing—literally. More dangerously: when Abigail types, the words release a sliver of power that feeds the fairy’s fading magic. They sign an accidental cohabitation contract of one stubborn roommate and one determined owner-of-a-broken-heartbook. Heels are high, insults are low, and the internet notices a sparkling “historic oddity” trending. Now Abigail must juggle deadlines, a hundred-year-old secret, a mysterious benefactor called “the Fox,” and hunters who think all escaped sealed spirits are dangerous. If she loses, the fairy disappears—and some seals don’t forgive trespassers. Can a cynical writer and a lost immortal rewrite each other’s endings before the city closes its gates?
