A Spindle Splintered

Imagine your last birthday arriving with a countdown you can't escape—that's Zinnia Gray's reality at twenty-one, when a rare condition means she won't see twenty-two. When her devoted best friend Charm arranges an elaborate Sleeping Beauty celebration complete with an actual spinning wheel, Zinnia agrees to play along, never expecting the fairy tale to become dangerously real. As she tumbles through fractured worlds and encounters another princess trapped by the same dark magic, Zinnia discovers that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is refuse the story written for you. This achingly beautiful novella is a love letter to friendship, defiance, and the magic that blooms when two desperate souls decide their ending won't be the one chosen for them.
