'What cozy fantasy is all about' REBECCA THORNE
'Absolute perfection' SARAH BETH DURST
'Reading this felt like coming home' BRIGITTE KNIGHTLEY

A heart-warming, cozy fantasy standalone with an achingly sweet sapphic romance from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes.

Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful - to the Guild of Mages, to the brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn't proven much use to anyone.

So when Certainty is offered the chance to earn her magehood, she jumps on it. Never mind that the assignment is to transport minor artefacts to the dull, unmagical village of Shpelling, or that it involves working with Mage Aurelia, a brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who's managed to alienate everyone around her.

In Shpelling, the two must deal with testy villagers, an unruly catdragon, and their growing attraction to each other, while avoiding any incidents that could further damage the Guild's testy relationship with the kingdom's citizens. But magic is fickle - sooner or later, it is bound to spell trouble . . .
