"From the sting of my curse she will never be free

Unless she unravels my riddlings three..."

A romantasy based on the three puzzles in the legendary folk ballad Scarborough Fair.

Lucy is seventeen when she is struck by a curse that has haunted the women of her family for generations. Worse still: the male faerie who cast the curse is present in her modern life. Watching. And waiting, because the price of her failure is not only madness but worse: becoming his possession.

But unlike her mother and grandmother before her, Lucy isn't alone as she faces her impossible tasks. She has loving foster parents who actually believe her. And she has Zach, the boy literally from next door, who has suddenly become her steadfast lover.

Last but not least, she has her own logical, problem-solving mind.

Industry Reviews

A New York Times bestseller

"A haunting, thrilling romantic puzzle." -Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked

"Showcases the author's finesse at melding genres [with its] graceful interplay between wild magic and contemporary reality [and its] catapulting suspense." -Booklist, starred review

"Unique ... the well-drawn characters and subtle hints of magic early on allow readers to enter willingly into the world of fantasy." School Library Journal, starred review

"Modern logic and methodology mesh splendidly with fairy lore." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The delicious conceit of inflicting a fairy-tale conundrum on a modern-day high schooler means that Lucy, her foster parents, and Zach employ Google and eBay, along with old-fashioned true love, in their suspenseful battle to break the curse and best the evil Elfin Knight."-Horn Book

"With its romantic plot and folkloric roots, Impossible might seem at first glance to be a departure for author Nancy Werlin. But, in addition to showcasing her adeptness at developing characters, Impossible remains, in the end, just as suspenseful as any of Werlin's more traditional mystery novels. Romantic tension, a battle between good and evil, and a race against time-all set within a realistic contemporary setting-result in an intriguing medley of genres and a story that will remain in readers' minds much like a beautiful, haunting melody."-BookPage
