A cozy fantasy mystery filled with magic, found family, and second chances...
A Guardian who can't walk away. A Sentinel who can't let go. Havenwood Cove's fate depends on both.
Seraphina Blackthorn thought she was finally finding her footing-running a magical yarn shop, navigating midlife magic, and settling into a seaside town where enchanted lattes, mischievous familiars, and snarky birds are perfectly normal. But peace never lasts long in Havenwood Cove.
A stormy night unleashes wild magic.
Shadows whisper in the forest. A shocking dragon-shifter revelation sends Sera's carefully rebuilt life spinning once more.
When a frightened family arrives seeking refuge, Sera is drawn into a different kind of mystery-one rooted not in spells, but in fear, compassion, and the fierce instinct to protect. Helping them reminds her that not every danger in Havenwood is supernatural... and that some threats leave deeper scars than magic ever could.
Soon, strange disturbances ripple through town. Roots tremble beneath the streets. Lights flicker. Dreams turn unsettlingly real. Even the yarn shop seems on edge. As the newly awakened Guardian of Havenwood Cove, Sera follows a trail of enchanted clues leading to long-buried secrets-and an ancient enemy stirring beneath the town's peaceful surface.
Thankfully, she isn't facing it alone.
With Willow the mystical cat, Syrus the sarcastic phoenix-parrot, a house that cares a little too much, and Ryker Stormrider-the broody dragon-shifter now bound to Havenwood by fate and fire-Sera must unravel the whispers creeping into her town before the shadows take hold... and before protecting Havenwood demands a cost she may not be ready to pay.
In Secrets, Spells & Shadows you'll find:
- A cozy fantasy mystery set in a magical seaside town
- A midlife witch discovering her strength one spell at a time
- Talking animal familiars (with maximum snark)
- A dragon-shifter with secrets of his own
- Found family warmth, whimsical magic, and small-town charm
- A sprinkle of slow-burn romance
- Cozy mystery threads woven through every chapter
Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy mysteries, small-town magic, talking animals, slow-burn romance, and midlife heroines who find their power-and their people-when they least expect it.
Because in Havenwood Cove, even the shadows have secrets... and they're ready to be found.
The magic of Havenwood Cove is only beginning-and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Come home to Havenwood Cove-where magic, mystery, and second chances await.
