About this book

When Daphne is whisked away to a magical realm beyond the stars, she discovers she's the latest in a long line of women enchanted by the legendary Peter Pan—a boy who defies time itself and embodies pure, untamed freedom. But her heart has other plans, pulling her toward Jem Hook, a pirate whose dangerous charm and genuine connection threaten everything she thought she wanted. Caught between the intoxicating allure of a timeless fantasy and the messy, real possibility of true love, Daphne must decide whether to surrender to the legend her family has been bound to for generations or forge her own path. This lush reimagining of a classic tale explores what it truly means to choose yourself, even when letting go feels impossible.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Spotify
etherealyearningbittersweetenchantedconflicted

Ethereal yet melancholic soundscapes blending indie folk with orchestral elements. Think dreamy vocals, lush arrangements, and bittersweet indie romance. Soft synths meet acoustic guitars. Artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, and Gracie Abrams capture the tension between magical escapism and grounded desire.
