A Nest of Magic is a low stakes, no spice cozy fantasy with a sapphic romance and a heartwarming happily-ever-after, perfect for fans of The Phoenix Keeper and Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea!
There once was a town where nothing ever happened—until, one day, it did.
Corinthia, the librarian of Shadow Ridge, doesn’t fall for mysterious strangers. She doesn’t go for long walks in the woods. And she most certainly does not believe in magic.
She has her books, her rescued hound, and her Cabinet of Chocolate—everything she needs for a cozy evening alone, thank you very much.
But when a bet with her best friend leads to a hike in the maze-like nature preserve behind the Shadow Ridge Library, she meets a mysterious woman who challenges everything she thought she knew about her town, her destiny, and her heart.
She doesn’t believe in magic… but magic believes in her.
