in the magical world of Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch.Once upon a time, Alliana believed in dreams and fairy tales as sweet as spun-sugar clouds.

Then her grandmother passed away—and those dreams disappeared in a disenchanted puff. Now Alliana&’s forced to attend to the whims of her wicked stepmother—with long days of cleaning her stepfamily&’s inn as her skin burns raw or staying up until the crack of dawn to embroider her stepsister&’s ball gowns. Until she meets two beings who change her life forever—the first is a young nightdragon who Alliana discovers she can magically talk to. And the second is Nela, a young witch. Nela needs Alliana&’s help navigating the mysterious abyss, filled with dangerous beasts, a place Alliana knows by heart. Alliana sees Nela&’s request as a chance to break free of her stepmother&’s shadow and to seize a chance at a life she&’s barely dared to hope for—but there&’s a risk. If caught, Alliana will be stuck working for her stepmother for the rest of her life. Can Alliana truly make wisps of dreams into her own, better-than-a-fairy-tale happily ever after?
