The Spellshop

$26.99

by Sarah Beth Durst

Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people.

Thankfully, as a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she and her assistant, Caz―a magically sentient spider plant―have spent the last decade sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, until a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames.

She and Caz flee with all the spellbooks they can carry and head to a remote island, and Keilia's childhood home, that she never thought she’d see again. 

In need of income, Kiela identifies something that even the bakery in town doesn’t have: jam. With the help of an old recipe book her parents left her and a bit of illegal magic, her cottage garden is soon covered in ripe berries.

But magic can do more than make life a little sweeter, so Kiela risks the consequences of using unsanctioned spells and opens the island’s first-ever and much needed secret spellshop.
