Dear Reader
In the Shadow of a Wish is a reimagined fairytale, but even fairytales travel down dark roads and battle scary monsters. This story—while a romance—does focus on that happily-ever-after, but that doesn't preclude the protagonists from facing some very real and possibly disturbing obstacles. I felt it was important to share what could possibly be triggering for those who wish to know. If you don't, please stop here.
Auri Fareview and her sisters live in a land dominated by men, where women are subjugated to them. What Auri wants more than anything is freedom and agency for herself and her sisters. There are several instances when this agency is stolen from her. She is attacked by a character named Crossbie (this assault is not graphic, but it is intense) and her first and third wish-obligations also steal agency from her, which creates tense and uncomfortable situations (also neither graphic or glorified). I have done my utmost to care for Auri (and my readers) and hope both scenes are presented with that caution in mind. Thank you so much for being willing to take a chance on a new author. I hope you love this story as much as I enjoyed writing it, and I hope all of your wishes for love come true.
