Brewed in Magic
Lilia has always had a wanderer's heart. She spends her days on the road with her famous Traveling Tavern and only a dragon to keep her company. Despite longing for a deeper connection, she knows she's destined to wander the world alone.
When she meets a handsome stranger on her journey to the winter festival, she finally feels she's found a kindred spirit...until he vanishes in the early morning without so much as a goodbye.
Turns out, he rushed ahead to reach the festival first with his own traveling tavern. One he never mentioned. Now her would-be companion is her rival, or worse. Someone is trying to sabotage the festival by stealing supplies, and all her suspicions point to him.
But when he offers to help find the culprit, sparks melt the icy barriers between them. And Lilia must decide if she can trust him with saving the festival-and with her heart.


Cozy Pairings

Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.
Why we chose this: A world of islands and forges, traveling taverns and dragon magic, where people keep washing up in unexpected places and finding love and belonging before they had a chance to plan for it. Kraken carries the weathered, adventurous depth of a world where the sea keeps delivering people to exactly where they need to be, salt-worn driftwood and rich tobacco and aged leather that smells like a life lived in motion. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the open-water atmosphere fill the room like an island that appeared on no map you were given but feels, somehow, entirely familiar.
