Orenda, a witch born without a spark of magic, experiences a magical mishap that shrinks her and drops her unceremoniously into the fae world. There, she stumbles upon a hive of male pixies who, to her utter surprise, declare her their queen. What unfolds is a truly charming and lighthearted portal fantasy, where Orenda, a complete fish out of water, discovers a deep sense of belonging and an utterly unconventional, polyamorous romance. The book has a sweet, whimsical feel, focusing on found family and the unexpected joy of finding your place among protective, adoring partners. This is for readers who enjoy a cozy, magical escape with a unique romantic setup that embraces multiple partners and a deeply caring dynamic, all wrapped in a delightful "human in a strange world" package.
