Lotte’s Forest: The Tale of Love

Mel loves books. One evening she finds one unlike any other—covered entirely in black ink and radiating something she cannot name. The moment she touches it, a dazzling light spills out. When she opens her eyes, she is somewhere else entirely. Three figures are there waiting: a young man, a cat, and a beast. All three call her "Princess"—as though they know her, or know something she does not. The path back to where she came from is not clear. Neither is what the book wanted from her.
