All Lora wants to do is cozy up behind the walls of Wintercap Academy, study to become a herbalism scholar, and find a way to fix the magical mistake that's haunted her for years.
But a 'real world' herbalism apprenticeship is compulsory, and she's being sent to Dragon's Nest - a town where it's always autumn and the locals hold some unusual magical beliefs.
Arriving to find an empty shop, a missing herbalist, and a gaggle of townsfolk demanding remedies makes her want to run straight back to school. But with help from her new neighbours, a handsome local watchmaker, and the shop's mischievous cat, she might finally start to believe in her own magic.
