Curse of the Arcadian Stone, The: The Bridge

A charming, resourceful human is compelled to aid a sassy fairy with her perilous quest through the city, but are their fates more entwined than they realize? She's literally the girl of his dreams. Visions of this crazy, gorgeous, double-down-on-crazy fairy with the fiery pink hair had been haunting Josh's nights for weeks. Until she stumbles out of an honest-to-god glowing portal and into his boring workaday life. But said fairy is on a mission to save her mystical world, and she's not above blackmailing him into helping her with what she assures is a small, easy errand. If only she could blend in to the "normal world" better. If only these menacing warriors hadn't followed her through the portal and aren't chasing them across the city. Josh never asked to be some sassy fairy's bodyguard. None of this has anything to do with him anyway. Except...why does everything seem so eerily familiar? Has all this happened before? It's "Narnia meets Daria" in this offbeat, fast-paced, action adventure cozy epic portal fantasy, for lovers of The Chronicles of Narnia and Howl's Moving Castle*. Easy to read feel-good stories.*
