Benoit Laurent arrived in America for one thing: academic excellence. As a rigorous, impeccably cynical Parisian, he sees the Hawthorne Summer Institute as a crucial step toward his future: a place for focused study, not friendly fanfare. From the aggressively cheerful welcome signs to the overwhelming optimism of his peers, he finds the entire American experience unserious, performative, and entirely beneath him. Bea Walker is the Institute's hyper-competent student mentor. She believes in efficiency, clarity, and the relentless pursuit of "possibility." She can manage a budget, coordinate a faculty, and run a three-week schedule without breaking a sweat. But Ben's icy detachment and moral judgment-which he uses to critique everything she stands for-instantly make her temper flare. They are oil and water, logic and feeling, Europe and America. But when fate forces them together on study groups and late-night projects, their quick-witted, cutting arguments ignite a dangerous spark. As the summer heats up, Ben and Bea must decide if their intense disdain is just resistance, or the only way two people this different know how to fall in love. Twelve weeks. One syllabus. Zero tolerance for feelings.

Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry.
