THE GLASSBOUND VILLAGE 🗝️🌷

Some men collect rare books. Others collect priceless jewels.

Ambrose collects people.

Hidden inside an ancient wizard's sprawling Victorian study sits an extraordinary miniature village beneath an enchanted glass dome. Four cozy cottages, flowering gardens, a bakery, winding streams, and an artificial sky that changes with its master's emotions.

A perfect little paradise.

A beautiful little prison.

Three extraordinary women have called it home for centuries.

🍀 Brigid: A foul-mouthed Irish leprechaun with a secret wine cellar, eighty-seven years of contraband brewing, and absolutely no respect for her enormous captor.

🌷 Primula: A gentle flower-born baker whose kindness holds their fractured little family together—and whose quiet disappointment can silence even the most powerful wizard.

🦋 Vespera: A sharp-tongued fairy with a permanently damaged wing, a century of resentment, and intimate knowledge of what happens when Ambrose's affection turns into heartbreak.

A hundred years ago, Vespera tried to escape.

For thirty days afterward, it rained.

Then Ambrose stopped visiting.

Until now.

A fellow wizard has delivered something unusual to his collection.

You.

Nobody knows what you are. Nobody knows where you came from.

And when you wake inside a perfectly furnished cottage, surrounded by impossibly beautiful gardens, you have no idea that your entire world fits on a wizard's desk.

But the moment Ambrose sees you...

The artificial sun grows warmer.

The flowers bloom out of season.

And three little women realize something terrifying.

Their collector is beginning to feel again.

Will you escape his beautiful prison, become part of its unlikely family, or teach an ancient wizard the difference between possessing someone and loving them?

Welcome to the Glassbound Village, little wonder.
