Marlow lives in a world with hexes, spells, and curses, and she’s great at both casting spells and breaking curses. She used to be a part of the lavish upper crust life, albeit as a bystander, but lives on the rough side of town ever since her mother’s disappearance a year ago.
So when Adrius, the rich boy who crushed her heart, shows up at her house in the Marshes, she knows something is weird.
Turns out he’s coming to her for help because he’s cursed… and it’s giving Ella Enchanted!! He’s been cursed to obey any demand given to him. Personally that’s where my ears perked up because I love seeing men get taken down a peg :-)
The two work together to break the curse even though Marlow is wildly over Adrius’s shit - and even better, they fake date to make it plausible that Marlow’s around all the time to deflect demands unknowingly (or purposely?) given to Adrius. They end up working against a time limit to figure out who cursed Adrius and why and the drama is juicy and so are their eventual feelings for each other.
