A story for anyone who has ever wanted to lose themselves in a good book, and for anyone who has ever needed to find themselves again the same way...
When playboy fae prince and bisexual disaster Alastair and his stoic, snarky bestie Killian go to the human realm to retrieve the prophesied Chosen One, they abduct Vivi Pierce to save their world from a thousand year old dark, sinister curse. Luckily for them, while Vivi may only be nineteen and a college student, she is eager to save Faerie. In fact, she's pretty sure that she could also ride a dragon and help them perform a coup - should the need arise. She has, after all, read every romantasy book she's ever been able to get her hands on and is sure she knows exactly which tropes to expect.
The only problem is that Vivi isn't actually the Chosen One and this kidnapping isn't the meet-cute that she thought it was. To make matters worse, the Chosen One turns out to be her middle aged mother Jenn and the fae men grabbed the wrong woman in a case of mistaken identity. Now instead of leading the charge to save the world, becoming instantly good at combat, or being seduced by a sexy, impossibly old fae love interest, Vivi has to wrestle with the fact that her mom is actually the Main Character, that Jenn knew about the existence of Faerie all along, and that maybe Vivi's books have gotten just a few things wrong.
A loving but humorous homage to the genres of romantasy and portal fantasy, The Heart of Faerie is the first book of the Broken Tropes trilogy. This trilogy, meant for adult readers 18+, includes a Happily Ever After for all main characters by the end of the trilogy and wraps up at least one HEA in each individual book. It is a first person, dual point of view story that includes the POVs of both Vivi and Jenn (who, unfortunately, isn't nearly as boring as Vivi thought she was).
