Maren Ashby has spent twelve years arriving, stabilizing, and leaving. As a veterinary mage for hire, she is good at the work and better at not staying long enough to care.

The Warden's Rest is supposed to be another posting - a struggling sanctuary for injured magical creatures at the edge of an ancient forest, left without a warden since last winter. Maren plans to hold it together through the cold season and move on in spring.

She doesn't plan for Della, whose intuitive thread-sense does things no training text can explain. Or Oswin, the silent groundskeeper who notices everything and says almost nothing. Or Bettis, who runs the village's communal Long Table and has a gift for leaving the right food in the right place at exactly the right moment.

She doesn't plan for the barn owl who refuses to let anyone near her. Or the children who arrive on rest-days and simply decide she belongs.

Belonging is not given freely in Ashhollow. It is built through small, repeated acts of care - for animals, for people, for a place that has been waiting a long time for someone willing to stay.

Book one of the Ashhollow Trilogy. For readers of Legends & Lattes and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.
