When Kiela flees her beloved imperial library with her friend the sentient spider plant and a boat full of refugee spell books, she doesn't have a plan other than to survive the fires of a revolution. Her only safe haven is her abandoned family home on an outer island, plagued by magical storms and despair. But with perseverance, friends, and more than a touch of magic, she finds where she truly belongs!
For fans of cozy romances and light fantasy, this is a perfect feel-good story with endearing characters, humorous magical mishaps, and just enough intrigue to keep me turning the pages long past my bedtime. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for future works by Sarah Beth Durst!

Baked with love, like a jam-filled pastry, for fans of Legends & Lattes, this cozy, affirming fantasy follows a librarian and her trusty sentient spider plant, forced from the Capitol by a revolution against the magic-hoarding empire back to the island of her birth—where she discovers what makes a place a home and people family, a sweet romance with a merhorse herder, the magical, radical act of sharing knowledge—and the power of raspberry jam.
