A hundred years they hid from one another. Now the mended world has come out into the light - and something ancient has walked in off the ice to meet it.
On the great frozen tarn of Ashcombe, the folds have gathered for the first Frost Fair in a century - the hidden world made visible, keepers and villagers and wild folk and hob-things all on the ice together, marveling at one another like the long-lost family they are. And Tamsin Ashdown, newly married and standing at the top of the hill with her whole found family at her back, looks down at the glittering joyful fair below and weeps - because a year ago she was a lost woman with a cold hearth and a village she did not believe she could save, and now the whole mending world has gathered on the ice to prove her wrong.
But in a quiet pavilion at the edge of the Fair, someone has been waiting for her.
Yrsa is four hundred years old, and tiny, and ancient beyond reckoning - and she is the one who made the folds. The original witch. The keeper of the oldest secret in the hidden world. She bound herself in the deep sleep four centuries ago, full of guilt for the sundering she caused, and woke on the longest night when Hollowmere's mending turned the tide - and she has come, across the winter ice, carrying the one thing she has held in trust for four hundred years: the true cure. Not the Meetings of the Waters, which only ease the grief. The real cure. The reweaving of the sundered dreams into one - the healing that could end four centuries of loneliness forever.
It will take everything. It will risk everything. And it must begin in spring, when the wisteria wakes.
A cozy fantasy about an ancient wrong, a world learning to hope for complete healing, and the keeper of a small magical tea house who lit one fire and watched it warm the whole hidden world. The seventh book in The Hollowmere Tea House cozy fantasy series - and the beginning of the final working.
A cozy witch fantasy with found family, fae characters, ancient magic, slow-burn romance, and a mystery four hundred years in the making finally ready to be solved.
The wisteria is waking. The time has come. The whole sundered world is ready to go home.
