The world you know is underneath the substance of another, with cracks in the firmament that let the light of its magic in\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

Layla and Nat have nothing in common but their boyfriend \u2013 enigmatic, brilliant Meraud \u2013 and their deep mutual dislike. But when Meraud disappears after an ambitious magical experiment goes wrong, they may be the only ones who can follow the trail of cryptic clues that will bring him safely home.<\/p>\n

To return Meraud to this world, the two of them will confront every obstacle: the magic of the wild unknowable, a friendly vicar who’s only concerned for their spiritual wellbeing, and even the Thames Water helpline. All of which would be doable, if only they didn\u2019t have to do it\u00a0together<\/i>.<\/p>\n

But the winter solstice is fast approaching \u2013 and once the year turns, Meraud will be lost forever. In this joyously queer novella, Nat and Layla must find a way to overcome their differences before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n
