Description

A shooting star is no fairy godparent.


The matter-manipulating alien who answers June’s wish for love is seeking contestants for an interstellar escape room through which it hopes to study emotion. Per the agreement, if she can beat five others in a series of tarot-themed fantasy trials, the star will attempt to grant her wish. However, if she fails to escape, it will keep her to study indefinitely.


There are worse fates than living in a magical world, and June is confident in her puzzle-solving skills—until she realizes she’s given the star incentive to fail her by wagering her freedom.


Luck evades her at every turn and the only contestant with any compassion, a handsome stranger with no memories, may not be a contestant at all. There are signs he’s as fake as the trials—just another of the star’s manipulations.


Too bad June is falling for him and he won’t survive without her help.
