Unexpected twists of fate tie Naiya to Hilda, the miller's unhappy wife and, Amina, the baker's youngest daughter. Amina is flung into a daring adventure when Naiya's wish ensnares the love of Amina's life. Can she find a way to save Phillip from the watery depths? And what will she have to sacrifice to do so? Embark on a magical adventure of determination, heartbreak, and transformation. Be enchanted by this retelling of the Grimm Brothers' lesser-known tale, The Nixie of the Mill-pond. "I had not expected the topic of gender neutral pronouns to pop up. Naiads and some other magical beings are described as without gender and are referred to as "they". I don't think I've ever encountered this in a retelling, I like it!" - Jess The e-book of Naiya's Wish also includes exclusive access to "Bethany". This short story detailing the life of Naiya's daughter, Bethany, is not intended for publication and is only accessible through this e-book. The link to "Bethany" is embedded in a concealed place.
