What to expect
Every witch knows that playing with magic is a risky game…Discover the heartwarming cosy fantasy that's the perfect read for autumn
Even witches get burnt out - and Nyssa Hawthorne is no exception.
She used to lead the most powerful coven in London. Now, she can barely cast a spell without causing chaos. Running on empty, Nyssa retreats to the one place she's been avoiding for almost a decade: her grandmother's lakeside cottage on the magical isle of Nighthaven.
There, Nyssa rediscovers her collection of enchanted board games and a new idea takes root: a cosy café where she can share this magic with the locals. Soon, her little haven is filled with well-worn armchairs, friends old and new, and enough cinnamon rolls to feed the whole island.
For the first time in years, Nyssa feels settled. Happy. Like her spark is finally returning. Until an old enemy arrives on her doorstep, threatening everything and everyone she's grown to love. To protect her new life, Nyssa mixes her witchcraft with her board games in the ultimate roll of the dice - but is it worth the risk to save the true magic she's finally found?
A spellbinding standalone that's full of adventure, found family, romance and discovering your inner magic.
