Produktbeschreibung
Moving to Chicago should have felt like a dream come true, but for Roxanna Lovegood, it's a last-ditch effort to run away from a nightmarish past. With the world-famous skyline as her backyard, she's surrounded by reminders of her progress and survival, even when her heart struggles to piece together the shattered remains of everything she's lost. When mysterious strangers break into her apartment, curiosity leads her to a puzzling artifact buried under the floorboards. One moment she's staring at the night sky over Lake Michigan and the next, she's running for her life through the forest of a distant realm surrounded by people and creatures she's only heard of in fairytales. Only with the help of a highborn fae and his stubborn blend of mischief is Roxi able to navigate the viciously unpredictable world without getting herself killed. Devon is determined to figure out how she wound up there to begin with, and even more determined to send her back home. He's got secrets to keep and his own set of wounds unwilling to heal, and the last thing he wants or needs is Roxi questioning-and challenging-everything he thought he knew. There's just one teensy-weensy problem. The longer Roxi stays in the realm of the fae...the less either of them wants her to leave.

Autorenporträt
As a cultural anthropologist with a focused background in archaeology and global folklore, Nikki weaves real-world discoveries and intercultural theories into her fictional works. Her current series, Song of the Sidhe, combines fantasy storytelling with "what if?" concepts, from the fae folk living in (and potentially having built) downtown Chicago to the mythological Fomorians existing within marginalized communities around the world. Nikki's debut novel, Prax, was a finalist in the 2022 Page Turner Book Awards and long-listed in the 2023 Page Turner Book Awards. Ithandryll was long-listed in the 2023 Page Turner Book Awards, received an Honorable Mention in the 2023 Readers' Favorite Book Awards, a 5-Star Review from Readers' Favorite, and a 5-Star Review from Midwest Book Review. Nikki is also a graduate of the Institute for Children's Literature (back when "remote learning" was a typewriter and snail mail!), was a guest copy editor for The Irish Journal of Anthropology, and has developmentally edited several fiction novels that went on to become award-winners and bestsellers in independent publishing. After living in downtown Chicago before, during, and after the pandemic, Nikki entered her "Stars Hollow Phase" and relocated to a small village cluster in Iowa known as The Amana Colonies. She started an indie bookstore, BumbleBooks, which is currently a "pop-up situation" inside the village's new herbs & tea shop, Serenity Sage. She continues to support indie authors and their books through local and online bookstore programs & events. On any given day, Nikki can be found sipping handcrafted coffee, making book paper crafts, faceplanting on her laptop keyboard, and/or whispering to the kobolds who live in her home.
