Prelaunch live now ✨

PRELAUNCH LIVE NOW!

Three years ago, Poppy and Riven were matched but ended the Festival being just friends.

Now, three failed Festivals of Fates later, Poppy is officially done letting magic meddle in her love life.

So when her charming, infuriatingly handsome friend Riven enters the Festival, she fully intends to cheer him on from the sidelines—far away from the Moirai, the three meddling witches who run the Festival of Fates.

Unfortunately, Fate has other plans.

Thanks to a “minor administrative error” from the Moirai, Poppy is magically bound to Riven instead.

Now stranded together on an enchantment-soaked island for a month of trials, forced proximity, and very public matchmaking, Poppy insists this is all pretend—just a temporary fix to avoid the Moirai’s curse and help Riven save face.

But between truth spells, torchlit nights, and a dangerously convincing fake relationship, Riven’s playful charm starts to slip into something far more real.

Riven’s protectiveness turns fierce, her heart turns traitorous, and Fate begins whispering that maybe her three failed matches weren’t failures at all—just practice for the one man she never saw coming...again

... Read moreThis story brilliantly captures the charm of a forced proximity romance intertwined with magical elements, making it an ideal cozy fantasy beach read. The Festival of Fates serves as a unique backdrop, where the Moirai—three meddling witches—set the stage for unpredictable love matches. The protagonist Poppy's journey from skepticism to reluctant acceptance of her bond with Riven highlights the emotional highs and lows of magical matchmaking. What makes this read especially captivating is the blend of humor and heartfelt moments. Riven’s playful charm coupled with the enchantment-soaked island trials creates an immersive experience. The narrative explores themes of fate versus free will, the power of false pretenses turning into genuine feelings, and the notion that past failures might be preparation for true love. Readers who enjoy character-driven stories will appreciate the depth of Poppy and Riven's evolving relationship—from friends to magical mates forced into proximity. The use of truth spells and torchlit nights adds a mystical romance vibe, enhancing the anticipation and intimacy. If you love stories that combine fantasy, romance, and a beachy, cozy atmosphere, this prelaunch tale is a must-read. It’s perfect for curling up with during summer or any time you want to escape into a world where fate and magic collide to create unexpected love.
