Chokshi's tale is as sweet as a piece of fairy fruit, and just as wicked. Every bite is velvet, every swallow is gold, and the taste lingers like a fever dream. This sumptuous, gothic-infused story explores a marriage unraveled by dark secrets, a friendship doomed to tragedy, and the perils of believing in fairy tales. A man enamored with fairy tales marries the mysterious Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada, a wealthy heiress. They exchange gifts and stories, convinced of their happily ever after, but Indigo demands a promise: her husband must never inquire about her past. When Indigo's estranged aunt falls ill, they return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, where the bridegroom becomes unable to resist uncovering the truth. Within the manor's lavish yet decaying rooms lurks the shadow of Azure, Indigo's vanished childhood friend. As the house reveals Indigo's secrets, the bridegroom must choose between reality and fantasy, risking their marriage and lives. Blending the haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this darkly romantic tale delves into love, lies, secrets, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. A fairy tale in the truest sense, it is a haunting dream filled with blood, love, and beautiful lies.
