"A charming, funny, and unique twist on challenging the laws and traditions that shape us." —Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly A bride-to-be convinced she’s cursed in romance finds her luck changing—at exactly the wrong time. Maya Mirza is so convinced she’s unlucky in love that she’s come up with a list of laws to explain it. Most importantly… Maya’s Law #1: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. But that’s about to change. Maya’s headed to Pakistan for an arranged marriage with a handsome, successful doctor who ticks all the right boxes. First comes marriage, then comes love—she’s sure of it. Except… Law #4: When you think you’re lucky, think again. From the start, Maya's journey is riddled with disaster, and the cynical lawyer seated next to her on the plane isn’t helping. When a storm leaves them stranded in Switzerland, she and Sarfaraz become unlikely travel companions through bus breakdowns and missed connections. Law #6: Trips are never smooth sailing. And before long, Maya’s wondering whether she’s just experienced the ultimate in misfortune—finally meeting the right man a few days before she marries someone else. And Maya might just be the worst person to keep a secret. Law #18: If you’re overtired, you’ll always spill your guts. But maybe, if she’s willing to bend some laws, this detour could take her somewhere totally—and wonderfully—unexpected. "Rooted in Pakistani and Muslim culture and faith, this romance is a fun romp that features plenty of adventure and plot twists. Recommend to fans of Uzma Jalaluddin." —Library Journal, starred review

“Now come the Shapers of the ancient days To change all to dust or gold. Like a golden Sun is revealed by the passing Clouds, so these secrets now unfold.” DreamBook shares the mythology of The Prooimia, a tale of a little girl who meets an Ælve queen and is told that a son with great power would be incarnated through her. The Prooimia continues into her adult life, and regales with stories about her translocation inside of trees, her encounter with the Hobgoblin Horde, the death of her husband, and her abduction and encounter with a Wolvlinga. This encounter leads to a great battle between four Ælves and thousands of Waelwulfas, Kwizir and Melchizedecks. DreamBook also contains The Book after the Prooimia – Jaddamiah Jabberwocky. The story continues with a certain Jaddamiah Jabberwocky, who sets off from the same village as Hyperion (the little girl from The Prooimia), to fight the Meline Dragon with a glaive that is not his own, in a town he has never been to. It is a most fascinating tale, filled with magickal creatures, monsters and dwarves, a dragon, nymphs and dryads. It speaks of dwhëels who save the day and climaxes with the Battle of qêl Dmâ, where thousands are slain and the sibling shapeshifters – Búbgaz ‘the Destroyer’ and Búbkalu ‘he who makes those who run stand still’ – exact the will of their Bele Kaadom ‘he who overpowers with doom’. More importantly, it is a tale of the mighty power of the Ælves. The Ælves!
