Description

Myth, folklore, and magic come together in 21 illustrated short stories of hope, transformation, and finding light within the dark.

A young woman unearths a masquerade mask that reveals her innermost secrets. A grieving woman uses cocoa beans to open a door between worlds. A graduate student leaves her thesis behind when she crosses into fairyland. A child becomes separated from their home beneath the waves. An aging grandmother recounts her post-war encounter with a shapeshifter who brought out new desires.

This inspiring collection empowers readers with strength and resilience to conquer everyday challenges.
