Myrthe, a young woman with the power to grant wishes through her tears, is cursed to die the next time she sheds a tear. She embarks on a perilous journey to the Well, where she hopes to break the curse before it claims her life. Along the way, she meets Bastiaan, a powerful man with the ability to stop time, who has been hired by the new king to find the Wishtress and deliver her to the schloss. Bastiaan promises to take Myrthe to the Well, but his true intentions are not clear. As they journey together, Myrthe must confront her feelings for Bastiaan and the growing danger that surrounds them. Their quest can end only one way: with her death.

Everyone seems to need a wish, from the king to Myrthe's cousin to the boy she loves. But they are willing to do anything to get it, even if it means bullying, begging, and betraying her. Myrthe knows that to grant even one wish, she would pay with her life, and if she tells them about the curse, they will kill her anyway.

This is a beautiful tale about self-worth, second chances, and mysterious enchantment. It is an exciting, low-spice YA romantasy that stands alone and is book length: approximately 125,000 words. It includes discussion questions for book clubs.
