Overview

Welcome back to the Mudpuddle Bookshop and Cafe, where trouble is brewing in Primrose Court again... Zani Marinescu doesn't settle down. She chases cursed relics across continents... until the legendary Bloodstone Amulet vanishes from her travel case on the train home to Primrose Court. ""Uh oh"" doesn't half cover how much trouble she's in. Confined to a desk job in the Arcane Archives beneath the Mudpuddle Bookshop, Zani spends her days plotting her escape from her formidable great-aunt and the worst fate of all: staying put for more than five minutes. At least Will Porter, the irrepressibly charming half-fae, isn't letting her face it alone. Then a devastatingly polite vampire shows up in town with secrets of his own and a century-old mystery begins to unravel beneath Zani's feet. It seems the missing Bloodstone was only the beginning... An unputdownable cozy fantasy about magic and mishaps, found family and the revolutionary act of choosing yourself. Also featured: enchanted travel gear, lethargic vampires, portal-hopping through time for epic sandwiches and one very cursed piece of jewelry. Perfect for fans of J. Penner and Sarah Beth Durst. - Cottagecore cozy fantasy - Magical bookshop & café setting - He fell first, slow burn - Grumpy × Sunshine - Accidental time travel
