What do you think will happen when a girl who lives her life as a doll meets a boy who's absolutely terrified of dolls?
-----
Florian Blaise Cordova was forced to leave the city to work at his aunt's bookhouse after being unemployed for six months. His job? Teach children how to read and write alongside his aunt. Tutoring kids and adjusting to his new life in the province should have been the hardest part, but not when Lena existed--a doll displayed on the main street for anyone to see.
She was the embodiment of his nightmare. An absolute abomination. A work of the devil.
And if knowing Lena's existence wasn't enough, Florian met Inez, a girl who only comes out at night with her typical combination of oversized hoodie and jogging pants. She has the habit of speaking in third person and closely resembled the doll Florian fears.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But Florian was horrified to make the connection, especially when he found out that Lena was always there--standing inside her glass box from seven a.m. to eight p.m for two years and counting.
