Arranged Divorce

In the Kingdom of Wedoria, love is a bureaucratic nightmare but Cordelia Breakwell is about to file the right paperwork to fix it.

As head administrator of the Department of Authentic Partnership Support, Cordelia has spent years making the kingdom's magical marriage-matching system run with clockwork efficiency. Arranged unions, stamped documents, and orderly compliance it's not romantic, but it works. Until Felix Heartstring arrives.

Felix is everything Cordelia didn't order: a dangerously idealistic counselor who believes people should actually choose their partners, a rule-bender who distributes unauthorized "Choose Love" pamphlets, and worst of all, someone who makes her question whether efficiency is more important than authenticity. When his forbidden relationship tips spark a kingdom-wide crisis, complete with dragon divorce mediations, ten-thousand-foot Cloud-Giant couples therapy, and a sentient office stamp going on strike, Cordelia faces an impossible choice.

She can maintain the system that's kept the peace for centuries, or risk everything on Felix's radical idea: that marriages renewed through authentic choice create "True Magic" powerful enough to transform the kingdom itself.

But when High Chancellor Ironbottom declares war on authentic partnership with weaponized bureaucracy (including the dreaded Form L-337 shortage), Cordelia and Felix must rally an unlikely alliance of trolls, fairies, kobolds, and twenty thousand citizens armed with personal stamps to prove that love-real, chosen, authentic love-is worth fighting for.

Even if it means filling out the paperwork in triplicate.
