Petals and Lies
What if one wish could give you everything you’ve ever longed for?
Twenty-five-year-old Mai has spent her life searching for a place to belong. Adopted as a child, disconnected from the culture she barely remembers, and convinced love is something meant for everyone but her, she’s learned to expect quiet apartments, lonely dinners, and a life that never quite feels like her own.
Then one ordinary morning, she whispers a wish into an old stone well. When she awakens in the breathtaking village of Willowmore, surrounded by strangers who welcome her as family, Mai finds everything she thought she’d missed forever. Friendship. Home. Romance. Even pieces of herself she never knew were gone.
But perfection has a way of asking questions. And some places are almost too beautiful to leave.
Because not every wish is meant to come true.
