At twenty-four, Liora feels like life is happening somewhere just out of reach. Chronic pain and exhaustion have made her world smaller than she ever imagined it would be. While everyone else seems to be rushing forward-traveling, dreaming, living-she has learned to exist carefully within the limits of a body that rarely cooperates. Then she meets someone who experiences the world in a completely different way. He's blind. But where she sees limitation, he hears possibility. He notices the sound of rain before storms arrive, the shift in wind through trees, the quiet music hidden inside ordinary moments. And when she confesses that she feels like life is passing her by, he offers her a simple challenge: Borrow time from the world. Once a month, they take a trip together-a few days away from everything-to experience places slowly and deeply instead of rushing through them. Across fifteen months, their journey carries them through distant landscapes, crowded cities, and quiet corners of the world where life feels suddenly larger than either of them expected. As the months unfold, she begins to understand something she never believed before: Life was never about how much she could do. It was always about how deeply she could feel it.

Elaine 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 Elaine, 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, Elaine 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 Elaine 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
