Cael Ashford spent twelve years as an adventurer and has nothing to show for it except a bad knee and a leather pack that holds everything he owns. So when a letter arrives telling him his estranged uncle has died and left him an enchanted workshop in a village he hasn't visited since childhood, he almost doesn't go.
Almost.
The catch: he has to stay for one year or lose everything. The workshop is falling apart. The two hundred and fourteen enchantments his uncle maintained for the village are breaking down. A soup pot is launching its contents at the ceiling. The local merchants are circling. And a judgmental orange tabby named Whiskers has been granted, by legal covenant, the right to evaluate everyone who enters the premises.
Thornhaven doesn't need a hero. It needs someone who will stay.
But staying means fixing what's broken, earning trust from people who loved the man he never bothered to visit, and learning that the hardest magic isn't in the spellwork. It's in putting down roots.
For fans of Legends & Lattes and The Spellshop. A warm, heartfelt fantasy about found family, second chances, and a cat who knows exactly what he's doing
