What if her greatest stroke of luck was no accident?
Persimmon, a human raised in a faery court, craves a place where she’s wanted and valued, but she’ll settle for the comfortable discomfort of the only home she’s ever known. Opportunity barges in, though, when the human king proclaims a series of impossible challenges to determine his heir. If Persimmon and her adoptive parents help one of the princes win, she can demand a reward that will secure her spot among humans: marriage to the future king.
Arnur, youngest son of the king, has a reputation for unbelievable luck. The perfect target, he ventures into a swamp to meet a mysterious benefactor who grants him every challenge’s solution. However, beneath his reputation is a man whose unwavering faith in the High King drives his every decision. How long can Persimmon justify manipulating him for her own ends?
But if she doesn’t, how will she ever make her own way in the world?
This standalone retelling of the fairytale Puddocky will delight readers who love Christian fantasy filled with wit, found family, and the greater purpose ordering each character’s steps.
