A software engineer by day and a storyteller by obsession, she balances logic and longing with the careful precision of someone who has probably overthought both. When she isn't drafting, she is likely halfway across the world, gaming past midnight, arguing passionately about things that don't pay bills, or reading (either swooning over fictional characters or hurling the book at the nearest cushion after a terrible twist).","brand":"Oliver-Heber Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985503617298,"sku":"9798900430690","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_165908e3-f330-4a89-a6cb-b412b938d0db.jpg?v=1769538387","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/aether-ash-9798900430690","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
