The ONDINE series, in four acts.

The super tricky thing about writing a synopsis is the author has to show how the story ends.

My instinct is to say, 'You have to read it to find out how it ends.'

I think I've found a way to do both:

Act One: Ondine lives in the Eastern European country of Brugel.
She works at her family pub.
Her pet ferret, Shambles, begins talking with a Scottish accent.

Act Two: Shambles is no ordinary ferret.
He's really Hamish McPhee, and a witch cursed him a good one.

Act Three: Ondine falls madly in love with Hamish
and will do anything to break the spell for good.

Act Four: They travel back in time and are eaten by dinosaurs.
