Wishtress - The Nightmare Virus

The Wishtress, a young woman born with the extraordinary ability to grant wishes through her tears, finds herself on a perilous journey to break a deadly curse before it claims her life. Myrthe's unique power, however, has caught the attention of those who seek to exploit it for their own gain, including the new king and even her own cousin.

Myrthe's curse was set in motion when a wish she granted went awry, leading to a terrible consequence – the next tear she sheds will end her life. With the king's militairen hunting her, Myrthe must travel to the mysterious Well to break the curse before it's too late. The only person she can trust is Bastiaan, a young man with the rare talent of stopping time with a snap of his fingers.

Bastiaan's own motivations are complicated, as he needs a wish of his own and plans to turn Myrthe over to the king once he gets what he needs. However, as he spends more time with Myrthe, his growing feelings for her threaten to compromise his mission.

As they journey to the Well, Myrthe and Bastiaan face numerous challenges and encounter others who are also desperate for a wish, including Myrthe's cousin and the boy she thinks she loves. These individuals are willing to bully, beg, and betray Myrthe to get what they want, unaware that granting a wish would cost Myrthe her life.

The quest to reach the Well and break the curse becomes a high-stakes game, with Myrthe's very survival hanging in the balance. She must find a way to navigate this perilous landscape while keeping her heart hardened, lest a single tear shed lead to her demise.
