Saving Ellipsis

SAVING ELLIPSIS

By Laure Dargelos

Ages 14+

A standalone cosy fantasy about a florist who will do anything to save her town, and the allies she will make on the way.

In Ellipsis, a small and quiet town lying literally between the lines of a manuscript, life revolves around the Text. Every day, letters and punctuation marks are scrubbed, polished, and patched up to preserve the word the Author wrote – and abandoned – many years ago.

Unlike her fellow townspeople and their passion for all things literature, Prosperina Dash has embraced a career as a florist. But when she discovers a dead body at her shop and the foundations of Ellipsis start crumbling away for no apparent reason, she sets off to the Capital in a desperate attempt to save her town from collapsing.

Together with a Text-diving champion, a snobbish man who Capitalises Every Word, and a cufflink-eating flower, Prosperina finds herself entangled in a web of long-held secrets with an unknown killer in the centre of it.
