BACK OF THE BOOK
She thinks she’s in a book. She couldn’t be more wrong.
Lael Farrow was fed on stories since infancy, by a grandfather who couldn’t face reality. Now, he’s gone. Now, she’s woken up in an alien world. She thinks she’s in a fairytale, written by some benevolent supernatural author.

THE FOOLS WILL THINK IT’S DESTINY mixes castles and spaceships, con artistry and secret organizations, a boy genius, a gangster revolutionary, a heroine who doesn’t speak the language, and a narrator you certainly should not rely on.
