Some stories aren’t about heroes. They’re about second chances.

At thirty-four, Juniper Fairchild is out of options, out of energy—and just about out of time. Until an impossible garden opens a door into the Alterwhere: a dream-warped world built from forgotten stories, abandoned hopes, and the flicker of childhood daydreams.

But the Alterwhere is unraveling, and it thinks Juniper—and her only friend, Megan Eastman—are both the same Lost Princess.

She didn’t ask to be chosen. All she wants is to go home. But now she’s the only one who might be able to set things right.

With a pair of misfit Fae footmen, a magical amulet that points the way but won’t open, and an unpredictable enchanted Model T, Juniper must cross a world shaped by the memories of children—some joyful, some nightmarish—to save her friend and prevent the collapse of everything.
