A Magical Stay Awaits Readers at Hotel Magnifique!

The Bezier Residence is not a place you want to live. The girls who rent there have terrible jobs, ones that no one wants, the “dirty jobs” people find themselves in when life takes a hard turn and a disappointing slope downward. While normally the girls at this address are not ones that you’d want to converse with, have in your lives, Zosa and Jani are different. While they may be in a terrible state, the pair will do anything to lift themselves up into a better life and try to take care of one another until this day comes, until that day when they find their way out.

This day comes, in the form of an advertisement, for a job. Hotel Magnifique is hiring and this job includes a packed bag for a journey to Elsewhere, leaving at midnight. All the girls know about the hotel is that it has appeared every decade or so, issued invitations beforehand to the wealthiest citizens and a few lucky people in the crowd, after the hotel arrives, are gifted with the last of the invites, at random. The girls had known one such woman with an invitation, Minette, who disappeared at midnight (a decade ago, with the building) and reappeared from thin air two weeks later. Sadly, memories cannot be shared as they are signed away before the invitee/guest departs the hotel.

After hearing of this mystical hotel and the invite, the girls could dream of nothing else but their own invitation. But, with the advertisement and the few invitations they know there are, they decide to interview with their talents, however bad (or good) they may be at them, they still have hope.

It is further known that the hotel’s maitre d'hotel is a suminaire, a magician, those who are said to be the most dangerous beings in the world. But, because the suminaire is working for the hotel, does that mean the guests are protected from his magic? Everyone seems to think this. But, the only person who would know, who the girls know, no longer remembers, having her memories of the time taken from her. And she did come back, after her two week stay. The girls believe that the fact the suminaire works for the hotel will protect them from all the tales they hear of their magic, it is well known, after all, that the hotel is safe. Is this true?

Longing for their hometown of Aligney, the girls realize that the only way home is the hotel. Though when Zosa is hired, taking the job without Jani, jealousy and excitement separate the girls. Jani does not want her sister to go alone but how can Zosa turn down such a prospect, such an adventure? When a hotel employee, Bel, turns up to collect the sister for her new position in the hotel (she had signed a contract for the job, after all) Jani takes an old invitation (once used by Minette) and presents it for entrance into the hotel (as the only way in is an invitation or employment contract). Bel, seeing he has no choice, Jani so persistent to go with her sister, he takes them both. Is Jani making a mistake? Have both sisters made a mistake taking residence, a position, at this magical hotel?

While everything feels too wonderful to be true to the sisters, have they made the biggest mistake of their lives? Will it be worse as employees at the Hotel Magnifique where Jani is only an employee on a trial run basis being paid less than her sister? Will Zosa’s dreams of being a singer come true? Will it be all she imagined? And, at the end, will the sisters be able to return to the place of their youth where they long to be, where they can breathe?

As this is only the beginning of a magical tale, full of mystery, wonder, things readers have never seen or heard of only reading Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor will reveal these answers and more as a new world and adventure awaits revelation.
