A city where time is a sovereign tyrant, governing the lives of all the inhabitants.

Dreams that are sold in bottles to those with starving imaginations.

A small mistake that leads to a girl and her mother being attacked.

Sinister forces that lead two sisters astray in Fairyland.

Illustrations that come alive when no one is looking.

Kathryn Tan is a linguistics student at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. This collection of short stories and poems was something she wrote over the years. It will bring you to fairytale lands and worlds similar to ours but that have been touched by magic. Other than writing stories, Kathryn also likes to watch animated web series, listen to indie music and make digital art, including the picture exhibited on the book cover.
