Hooked
In Neverland, growing up isn't just forbidden—it's fatal.

James has always been Peter Pan's loyal second-in-command, the steady hand that keeps the Lost Boys safe while Peter chases adventure. But when Peter's recklessness puts everyone at risk, James begins to question whether blind loyalty is worth the cost.

Caught between his protective instincts and his growing resentment, James discovers that shadows have voices—and they're telling him everything he's sacrificed has gone unnoticed. As Peter's demands become more dangerous and his disregard for consequences more obvious, James faces an impossible choice: continue enabling someone who will never see him as an equal, or forge his own path in a world that punishes those who dare to lead.

Some transformations can't be undone. Some choices echo through eternity.

Perfect for readers who loved Wicked, The Song of Achilles, and Circe.

Not all origin stories are about heroes. Sometimes they're about the people heroes create when they refuse to grow up.
