About this audiobook
Magic is real, and Viola is going to prove it!
Viola is a Parisian librarian by day and parkourist by night. The last thing she wants is an arranged marriage (ick) with a man (double ick). If Viola can fund the library and keep it open, she might keep her job and freedom, might being the key word. To make matters worse, strange magical shades keep attacking her, threatening her physical safety. Viola knows magic is real and wants to be part of that world, but she can't find a way out of her mundane life. She can only vent her troubles to her confidant, a lady gargoyle . . . though the statue has never spoken back.
Boudicca is a creature without a soul—a fact as steady as the stone she's made of. Yet when the mage who created Boudicca gives her a task that requires her to appear human, she's feeling new, soft things for the librarian who likes to climb Paris in her slippers. Viola could never love Boudicca in her true form, but the gargoyle finds herself putting her heart on the line to help keep the library open . . . and help Viola discover the magic that will pull her into a new world of freedom.
Contains mature themes.

This is a great story. The world building is simply fantastic. I love all the details. The author builds such an amazing picture in my mind. The characters are… phenomenal. The depths are astounding. I love the complexity to the plot. I was kept guessing in a lot of ways. I would love to read more from this world. Beautiful story.
