What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
A delightful queer cottagecore romantasy full of friends-to-lovers romance, found family, rival family drama, and cozy garden magic.
Yael is the only heir to one of the wealthiest families in the realm, destined for a life of power and privilege. But that’s not the life they want, and so, chafing at their family’s restrictions and expectations, they flee in search of a grand adventure.
Margot, plant witch, tea lover and stressed greenhouse owner, has never felt further from adventure in her life. Since her grandmother died and her family fortune was stolen she’s been desperately trying to keep what remains of the family business afloat. So, when her childhood friend – and former crush – unexpectedly gallops back into her life, it makes sense to offer them a job and a place to lie low.
In amongst harvesting strawberries for heartbreak jam and some totally, absolutely harmless flirting, they form a plan to take back everything that was stolen from Margot. But can their fragile arrangement survive their swiftly-blooming attraction? Not to mention the machinations of scheming parents determined to get Yael back – no matter the cost.

At the crossroads of impeccable witchy vibes, high fantasy fashion, and D&D riffs lies a queer, cozy love story sweet as the sweetest of heartbreak-healing strawberry jams. This one is for the TTRPG nerds, the warlock players, the plant witches and the enby icons.
Riley August, author of The Last Gifts of the Universe
-
Brimming with tender longing and heart, Homegrown Magic is a delightfully queer cosy fantasy with delicious strawberry-scented slow burn romance. I loved it.
