(ON HOLD) Eliora Brown has spent most of her twenty-three years in hospital rooms - a girl with a failing heart and too much light in her soul to sit still. The nurses call her sunshine, the doctors call her stubborn, and her best friend calls her trouble. To Eliora, the hospital isn't just where she lives - it's her universe. A place she fills with laughter, pranks, and stories so she doesn't have to think about the ticking in her chest. When a quiet, brooding new patient named Calian is assigned to share her room, Eliora sees it as an opportunity for friendship. He sees it as a nightmare. But the more she talks (and talks... and talks), the more she chips away at the walls he's built around himself. Calian is an artist whose lungs are failing him - a boy who's running out of air but still finds a way to make beauty out of what's left. Together, they navigate the strange rhythm of life inside four white walls: laughter through pain, hope through fear, and love in the unlikeliest of places. But hospitals are full of goodbyes, and Eliora knows that some stories are written in breaths, not chapters. Still, she believes in one thing with her whole, fragile heart - that even when life hurts, there's always art in the act of staying alive. A story about life inside hospital rooms - about friendship, loss, art, and the fragile beauty of still being here.

Isla-Dove Kepperton would do just about anything to escape the life of slavery that she lives - except possibly kill a unicorn. There is only one left, and with its death would come a curse. She isn't so sure a happily ever after is worth rendering unicorns extinct, nor being haunted by dark magic. When a new opportunity for freedom arises that includes partnering with a young man under a curse of his own, Isla-Dove begins to wonder if she can achieve her happily ever after without the blood price. Or maybe the unicorn really must die for her to truly live. _________________________________________ FANTASY | | ADVENTURE
