The Court of Disasters

"Your story, your rules."
Thirteen-year-old Kamille just wanted a place where her brain wouldn't explode. Between the suffocating noise of the Human Realm, a school that feels like a minefield, and a home life she's barely coping with, she flees to a hidden, overgrown patch of woods behind her neighborhood. She expects quiet. She doesn't expect Bean.
Bean is a minor guardian spirit-scared, starved, and covered in burn marks from a "training" ritual gone horribly wrong. He's spent weeks running from a dangerous past, expecting nothing but cruelty from humans. But Kamille doesn't ask questions he isn't ready to answer. She just brings peanut butter.
When the dark, magical forces that hunted Bean track him to Kamille's sanctuary, their fragile safe haven is threatened. Together, a broken kid and a runaway spirit must learn what it truly means to protect someone-even when the whole world is on fire.
