If you loved Howl’s Moving Castle, you will love Miss Fortune!
Twists, turns, and magic will take you on a fun and fantastical ride!
Nia’s luck is tied to a fortune stone that saved her life, but its magic waxes and wanes with the moon cycle. When she’s injured and taken to a magical castle to recover, she begins to see that all is not right. Will she uncover the castle’s secrets and escape?
With enticing elements of Beauty & the Beast, Howl’s Moving Castle, and the Sorcerer’s Stone, this book will have you questioning who is her ally who is her enemy? and if she will escape the magic castle. With sweet romance and a fun cast of characters (who have secrets of their own), this book was entertaining with fun twists and turns.
