The Witches Catalogue of Wanderlust Essentials

Fate is written in stone. Destiny is yours to shape—if you're willing to wield the chisel.

When a cursed bloodstone goes missing before an eclipse set to unleash its dark influence, three strangers find their fates suddenly and impossibly intertwined.

Zani, an adventurous, relic-hunting witch, is determined to outrun the future her family designed for her. Her satchel is perpetually packed full of magical cures for common travel disasters. But losing an ancient artifact might be the one catastrophe that her bag of tricks can't fix.

Will, a half-fae porter who can summon doorways between any time and place, has followed the paths of others for so long that he's forgotten how to chart his way. But he seizes the chance to claim his gifts and step into his own timeline when he leads Zani on a journey through history itself.

Ondalune, a reclusive former film star, is haunted by a life that refuses to end naturally. She doesn’t look a day over 70, even though she’s been alive for over a hundred years and everyone she's ever loved is long gone. Yet she remains, plagued by a maddening sense of something forgotten—something she's meant to do—hovering just beyond her memory's reach.

As their quests collide and centuries-old mysteries surface, this magical trio learns that only they possess the power to outplay fate’s cruel hand. But solving the bloodstone's curse will require each of them to face the uncomfortable truths they've been running from.

The Witches Catalogue of Wanderlust Essentials is a cozy fantasy adventure about reclaiming your story, found family forged through magic and mishaps, and the revolutionary act of choosing yourself. Also featured: Enchanted travel gear, lethargic vampires, portal-hopping through time for epic sandwiches and one very cursed piece of jewelry.

Set in the same world as the first book in the Natural Magic series, this is an interconnected story that can be read as a standalone, but may be best enjoyed after reading Book 1, The Mudpuddle Manual of Natural Magic.
