All That Glimmers: Seasons of Magic: Petals & Sirens, #1

By Selina J. Eckert

There's nothing worse than making a bargain with a Fae. Except doing twice.

 

Desperate after the death of her best friend, Hallie made a bargain with a Fae. Now, they are back to collect. Unfortunately, their price is far higher than Hallie is willing to pay, and she will do whatever it takes to escape her promise.

 

Including making a new bargain, one with far more dangerous terms. To get out of her initial bargain, she must unravel the identity of her mysterious Fae benefactor before spring break comes to a close.

 

And if she fails, she'll be trapped in the Spring Court forever.

 

All That Glimmers is part of a standalone series of novellas, Seasons of Magic. If you like seasonal stories, heartfelt tales of friendship, and strong, relatable characters, then you'll love Selina J. Eckert's feel-good Rumplestiltskin retelling.
