      AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER! A #1 LibraryReads pick! An Indie Next pick! EXCLUSIVE DELUXE EDITION—a gorgeous paperback edition featuring beautiful sprayed edges! This romantasy debut is a lush cottagecore tale filled with stolen spellbooks, unexpected friendships, sweet jams, and even sweeter love. Kiela, a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, has always struggled with social interactions. Alongside her assistant, Caz—a magically sentient spider plant—she has spent a decade preserving precious spellbooks for the elite. When a revolution ignites and the library is engulfed in flames, Kiela and Caz escape with as many spellbooks as they can carry, returning to Kiela’s childhood home on a remote island. There, she encounters a persistent and handsome neighbor who insists on helping her settle in. In need of income, Kiela discovers a unique opportunity: creating jam, something the local bakery lacks. Using an old recipe book and a touch of illegal magic, her garden flourishes with ripe berries. However, Kiela takes a risk by opening the island’s first secret spellshop, blending magic with her newfound passion. This enchanting tale, reminiscent of a Hallmark rom-com, is filled with mythical creatures, cinnamon rolls, and the promise of healing and sweetness.
