Description:
When a young woman named Justine casts a love spell to snare an eligible young bachelor, she mistakes Peter Pan as the spell's target and tricks him into choosing to take her to The Neverland instead of her prettier friend. Little does she know, their bargain means her death. The ISLAND OF DREAMS is a dark fantasy retelling with death gods, disability, and utopia gone wrong, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and Alix E Harrow.At first glance, the island looks like paradise. Justine might be dead, but this afterlife is better than living. She spends her days playing mother to a group of boys, telling them stories, going on adventures. For the first time in her life, Justine feels like the girl she is, and she's a god's object of infatuation—even if he's a little immature.But when Mak's estranged brother leads a gang of pirates to invade the island, bringing with them Time, which spreads in ripples across her paradise, she understands Pan will no longer love her if she ages into a woman. His offer to bond with her to create a magical barrier against the pirates is hardly a choice. Only later does she begin to understand how she has been deceived. Trapped between two immortal brothers, between passing Time and the promise of the childhood she never had, Justine must discover a power greater than both gods in order to heal the island: a power within herself.
“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“
