If you are reading these lines, you have probably fallen into the trap of overthinking. That mental maze where you get lost, always thinking of the worst, creating improbable scenarios, and losing your sense of rationality. But don't worry, you are not alone. This audiobook is for you. Overthinking is the enemy of healthy and happy relationships. It leads you to doubt everything, from the bond you have with your partner to their true intentions. If you have experienced the torment of "what if" and "maybe," you understand how destructive it can be.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
