Ink & Ivy

By Angela Grey

What would you give to keep a story alive? This cozy fantasy book is for cat and bookstore lovers.

By day, Marisol Callan drafts blueprints of lobbies and stairwells, her compass and vellum shaping the bones of buildings. By night, she tends the shelves of Ink & Ivy, a tucked-away bookstore where Finn, her green-eyed, stub-tailed Manx cat, keeps watch with uncanny purpose.

But when whole sections of the shop begin to vanish, spines turning blank, stories dissolving into silence, Marisol discovers Ink & Ivy is more than a bookstore. It's a kingdom of memory and meaning. To save it, Marisol must balance the worlds she loves most: her drafting desk and the shelves that hum with secrets.

Together with Callynth, a quick-witted student with a sketchpad, Chartrand, a retired teacher who speaks in poems, and Finn, whose paw-prints carry unexpected power, Marisol learns the cost of keeping isn't only memory - it's courage, truth, and the stories they dare to create.

Warm, enchanting, and quietly profound, Ink & Ivy is a cozy fantasy of bookstores and blueprints, cats and circles, and the stubborn magic of refusing to let meaning be erased.

Some books vanish into silence. Others fight to be kept.
