The Solstice Bargain: a dark and witty portal fantasy

The fate of two gods. The chosen one lying in a grave. No one will notice this imposter’s lack of magic, right?

Seraphina Jones' aspirations are stuck on hold. Trapped in dead-end jobs and failed relationships, the dejected wannabe-journalist trudges through a mundane existence in London while mourning the death of her beloved older half-sister. But when a mysterious man reveals her sibling’s true heritage as the prophesied princess of another world, she agrees to impersonate her in exchange for some lifelong dreams coming true.

Traveling to the magical realm with her charming guide, Sera becomes terrified the deception will get her killed as she faces a dangerous choice between two immortal rivals fighting for control. But the fake heir soon discovers that scheming allies, seductive enemies, and court politics are making it SO much harder than she thought to save the world.

Tapping into her own hidden strength, can she step out of her sister’s shadow and stop playing around at being the hero?

The Solstice Bargain is the captivating first book in the Prophecy Filler portal fantasy series. It's perfect for fans of Long Live Evil and This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. If you like sharp heroines, dangerously charming villains, and world-building rooted in Celtic folklore, then you’ll love Sophie Williamson’s latest enthralling adventure.
