Three witches. One haunted orchard. A cozy magical mystery where gratitude turns deadly.
Maeven Foxglove, Ivy Calder, and Juno Merrin aren’t the sort of witches who go looking for trouble—but it keeps leaving offerings at their door. Life at The Hearth is all sarcasm, tea, and mild spellwork until the orchard on the hill starts whispering the names of the dead. When a haunting twists into something far darker, the coven must uncover who—or what—is turning gratitude into vengeance.
As the town of Winterset spirals into superstition, old secrets resurface and even friendship begins to fray. Because in this town, every kindness owed comes with a cost—and every witch has something to lose. Can The Hearth uncover the truth before the harvest claims them too?
Witchwork & Wardens is the first in a cozy witch mystery series filled with humour, heart, and haunting folklore—perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and the Myrtlewood Mysteries, where found family meets ghostly secrets, and the tea is always slightly over-brewed. Read Witchwork & Wardens today and lose yourself in a world of wit, wonder, and witchcraft gone charmingly sideways.
