Campaigns and Curses

It's election time in Pigsend, and Pigsend's mayor Jo Hendry is up for re-election, but she's not the only candidate in the race. Pip Norris, the ferrier, Wilda Murtaugh, the cousin of the perfidious mayor from Middleburg, Gore Dewey, the blacksmith, and Hans Silver, a local farmer, have thrown their hats into the ring, too. And if Earl Dollman's polling is to be believed, it's going to be a tight race.

But when every candidate except Hendry receives a letter threatening to expose their "secret," Bev's once again called to investigate. Hendry swears it wasn't her, and though she'd do anything to win, she wouldn't stoop that low. But as Bev starts investigating, she realizes each candidate has far more secrets than can fill a polling booth, and finding the blackmailer is going to take more than just canvassing.

Campaigns and Curses is the eighth book in the Weary Dragon Inn series.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Mahogany & Teakwood

Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.

Why we chose this: Bev runs the Weary Dragon Inn in the quaint village of Pigsend, and she cannot remember who she was before she arrived five years ago, but she has built a life of rosemary bread and familiar faces and a town she would do anything to protect. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a series about a woman whose identity is a mystery but whose community is entirely certain, the scent of old wood and worn floors and spaces that hold their people close. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like an inn at the end of a long day, where the fire is going and Pigsend is safe for another evening.
