The Convenient Curse

Hyacinth's boring (and lonely) life flips upside down the day her cat, Max, tricks her into travelling through a portal to another world. But in the whimsical land of LaWardia, he's no feline-he's a brawny pirate and he knows way more about her than he's letting on.

Hyacinth soon realizes she isn't who she thought she was, thanks to a bag of magic marbles, a mysterious itch, an enchanted boat-oh, and a family that's hunting her down. As she flees, travelling island to island searching for answers, she discovers that bigger matters claim her: an ancient magic, a looming audit, and her growing feelings for Max.
