    About this ebook

    Anya’s mother kept a human heart in a jar on the mantlepiece. The heart was magical: it would beat when in the presence of true love.

    But when Anya’s mother dies, the heart stops  beating.

    This 5,000-word short story is about Anya’s quest to bring that heart back to life...by finding true love.
