Never - Jessa Hastings

Descriere

Second star to the right and straight on to mourning... A fairy tale retelling like no other from the imagination of Jessa Hastings. n Never...is an awfully long time. Growing up, Daphne always knew Peter Pan would come for her. The way he'd come for her mother, and her grandmother Wendy before that. The Darling girls. Their stories are all the same: the forever-young boy at their window after their thirteenth birthday, and the shimmering, magical land behind a star. When Peter doesn't show for Daphne until she's seventeen, inexplicably full-grown and with no excuse for his tardiness, Daphne doesn't know what to think. Still, she has always been told that Peter Pan is her destiny. It's beyond choice to take his hand and leap into the stars, no matter what comes next. But in Neverland, Peter's true colors begin to show. One moment, he's making Daphne's heart flutter, and the next, he's forgotten her entirely. So when Daphne stumbles into the path of Jamison Hook, the pirate son of Peter's nemesis, she lets herself get swept up in his vulgar charm, despite the warning signs. Both boys are trouble, and both have dangerous secrets about this strange fantasy land they call home--and if she loses her heart to either one, Daphne might just lose herself, too. n A breathtaking fantasy debut from the bestselling author of the Magnolia Parks Series. There is a boy of legend in the tales passed down in my family. He glides on the coattails of the sun, rides the wind, and freedom runs through his veins. His heart--so the legend goes--is wild. The boy lived in a faraway land tucked behind a star, where pirates were still true, mermaids didn't hide, and fairies flew through the air like autumn leaves on a windy day. He took my mother there, just like he took my grandmother, and my great-grandmother. Just as he would come for me. * Swept away from her life in London to a place beyond the stars, Wendy's granddaughter Daphne is torn between the boy of legend--Peter Pan, whose fate is irrevocably intertwined with her family's--and Jem Hook, the pirate who has captured her heart against all her better judgement. Filled with hope and heartbreak, beauty and betrayal, dreams and devastating reality, Never asks: Can we ever be free while we're holding on to the past? And what would happen if--just on nA breathtaking fantasy debut from the bestselling author of the Magnolia Parks Series. There is a boy of legend in the tales passed down in my family.
