Castle Carob: A Tale of Magic, Secrets, and Adventure

By Lucy Norman

Welcome to Castle Carob: where untamed magic and mysterious secrets combine in an unexpected cozy fantasy adventure.

All Kirsi wants is a place to belong. So when she's offered a job at Castle Carob, she jumps at the chance to build a new life. The castle may be a little run down, the nearby village is deserted, the surrounding forest is unnerving, and there's danger lurking outside the walls. But to Kirsi, it's an opportunity-even if she has to hide what she really is.

For Robin Doniven, gardener, greenwitch, and mage on the run, Castle Carob seems like the perfect refuge. But although looking after the castle gardens is easy, concealing his true nature is a lot harder.

As Kirsi and Robin work alongside the rest of the unusual household to restore the castle, they soon discover something much rarer than magic-a family. And when Castle Carob is threatened, they must make a choice: to keep their secrets, or to risk everything and save the only place they've ever belonged.

A cozy story about found family, new beginnings, and realizing a true home is something you build together.
