In elementary school, Chloe Hanako Quinn is assigned Oliver Jones as her pen pal partner. Before sending her letter, she also whispers a note into it…and he hears her. Little does she know it would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom into something more. That is, until disaster strikes, and Oliver and his family disappear without a trace. Now over twenty years later, Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life in the Big Apple is not what she dreamed it would be as she faces a layoff, rising rent, a situationship, and loneliness.

When one of the roses unexpectedly finds its way to a neighbor in need of cheering up, a desire to spread kindness and optimism is sparked in Chloe, who begins folding more roses and leaving them around town.

Now a successful financial analyst, Oliver’s past continues to haunt him. But when the city is suddenly inundated with yellow origami roses, a specific one finds its way into his hands and changes his life forever…

A POPSUGAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
I may go by Sebastien now, but my name was originally Romeo. And hers was Juliet.
It's a frosty fairytale of an evening when Helene and Sebastien meet for the first time. Except it isn't the first time. You already know that story, though it didn't happen quite as Shakespeare told it.
To Helene, Sebastien is the flesh-and-blood hero of the love stories she's spent her life writing. But Sebastien knows better - Helene is his Juliet, and their story has always been the same. He is doomed to find brief happiness with her over and over, before she dies, and he is left to mourn.
Albrecht and Brigitta. Matteo and Amelie. Jack and Rachel. Marius and Cosmina. By any name, no matter where and when in time, the two of them are drawn together, and it always ends in tragedy.
This time, Helene is determined that things will be different.
But can these star-cross'd lovers forge a new ending to the greatest love story of all time?
Mladá dáma
Elodie nikdy nesnila o palácích a přepychu. Jako dědička chudého vévodství moc dobře ví, co to znamená hlad a bída. Když ji ale požádá o ruku okouzlující princ bohatého ostrovního státu Aurea, bez váhání přijme. Vždyť sňatek s Henrym znamená, že její lid už nikdy nebude trpět!
Za pohádkovou nabídkou se však ukrývá tajemství. Temné, zubaté tajemství. Aurea totiž sdílí ostrov s drakem – krvežíznivou bestií, která si výměnou za svoji přízeň žádá krev. Královskou krev.
Elodie je ihned po honosné svatbě obětována netvorovi. Bude potřebovat veškerý svůj důvtip, aby v jeskynním bludišti unikla ze spárů jisté smrti a pomstila se všem, kdo ji zradili.
Román je výsledkem unikátní spolupráce filmařského týmu Netflixu, v čele s autorem scénáře Danem Mazeau, a bestsellerové autorky New York Times Evelyn Skye
A hercegnő és a sárkány
Életet az életért. Vért a tűzért.
Elodie Brayford élete nem épp tündérmesébe illő. Egy aprócska, éhínséggel küzdő fejedelemség örökösnőjeként a fiatal lány napjait ügyes-bajos dolgok töltik ki: gondoskodni országa, Inophe népének élelméről, lakhelyéről - avagy épp latrináiról. Élete azonban mesébe illő fordulatot vesz, amikor Aurea titokzatos királyságának trónörököse, Henry királyfi feleségül kéri. A királyi frigy révén Inophe nélkülöző népe részesülhet Aurea bőséges javaiból, Elodie pedig egy csodálatos, varázslattal átitatott földön élhet boldogan, míg meg nem hal jóvágású és kedves hitvese oldalán.
Azonban a tündérmesék nem mindig érnek jó véget. Aurea aranyló búzában bővelkedő mezőinek és gyógyító gyümölcsökkel teli erdőségeinek ára van, amit minden egyes nemzedék vérrel vált meg - mégpedig fiatal lányok vérével. Elodie-nak rá kell döbbennie, hogy számára nem adatik meg a boldog élet; ehelyett áldozatként kell szolgálnia új népét, ahogy azt az őt megelőző hercegnők sora tette. Ő viszont nem holmi tehetetlen hercegnő, hanem Inophe szikár, kemény földjének szülöttje, aki nem adja fel harc nélkül. Sorstársai vérbe zárt emlékei segítségével szembeszáll az Aureát rettegésben tartó sárkánnyal. Ám lehet-e bármi esélye egyetlen lánynak a világ legpusztítóbb szörnyetegével és az egész királyság szörnyűséges hagyományaival szemben?
Damsel
Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. Growing up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for her hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, she is quickly enchanted by the beauty of its people - and of its prince.
But as Elodie begins the rituals to become an Aurean princess, the cracks in the kingdom's perfect veneer begin to show. Too late, she discovers that its wealth has been purchased at a heavy cost - each harvest season, Aurea sacrifices its princesses to the dragon powering its prosperity. And Elodie is next.
This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading hundreds of women to their deaths. But those who came before her did not go quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and a magic that holds the key to her survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea's past, and save not only herself, but the future of her kingdom too.
