A beautiful book-shaped necklace inspired by a short story written by author Sherilyn M. Reyes, included in our 12 Days of Book-Club-Mas anthology!

Exclusively designed for our 2025 Advent Calendar, this stunning gold-plated, book-shaped pendant hangs on an extendable 18" gold chain. Flipping the tiny latch on the front of the book reveals six engraved metal pages inside it that are direct quotes from the featured story. These quotes include:

"To speak a truth is to plant a seed. Beware who tends it." 
"A life unlived is the only death."
"Trust not those whose name blooms only in the mouths of liars." 
"What’s buried in grief can still grow." 
"If I fall, follow the night-blooming vine." 
"Some stories are not inherited—they are written by those bold enough to live them."
