Lukens, F.T. - Otherworldly

A skeptical teenager trapped in an eternal winter makes a magical deal with a charming but desperate creature from another world. Can their unlikely partnership survive the dangers that await?

Ellery lives in a city gripped by an endless winter. When she makes a crossroads deal to save her life, she gets more than she bargained for in the form of Knox, a familiar from the Other World. Knox is desperate to experience life before returning to his queen, but their pact puts them both in danger. As Ellery and Knox navigate a world of magic and hidden truths, their bond deepens.

A sceptic and a supernatural creature get more than they bargain for when they make crossroads deal to save themselves. A perfect LGBT+ romantic fantasy for fans of Rainbow Rowell, Margaret Rogerson and Adam Silvera!  

Ellery doesn’t believe in magic. Sure, they’ve been stuck in a five-year winter, but there’s got to be a scientific explanation for that. They’re more concerned with working hard to send money back to the family farm than with whether there’s a goddess out there who could put a stop to it.

Knox has been trapped in the human realm for years. In service to a powerful witch for a decade, Knox is finally freed when her crossroads deal meets its terms. But Knox isn’t sure he wants to return to the Other World, especially since his queen seems to have abandoned him.

When a chance encounter finds Ellery coming to Knox’s rescue, they're suddenly face to face with a (annoyingly attractive) guy who claims to be a supernatural familiar – something they definitely don’t believe. But Ellery needs a way to stop the endless winter and save their family farm, and Knox needs a human who can tether him to their realm. A crossroads deal can’t go wrong, can it?
