Divination and Deceit

Frozen peas, political rivalries, and a body in the park. Magic and murder collide in Foxfire Haven, Washington.

There’s a sudden vacancy on the Foxfire Haven City Council when Fortie Fortenbacher is found dead in the park. Euphoria Lachlan, the mayor of Foxfire Haven and Hazel Underwood’s high-school bully, is wasting no time finding a replacement. Did Euphoria permanently remove Fortie from the council?

Hazel claims she’s not trying to solve the murder, but she keeps stumbling onto clues as she drives her vintage hearse from one delivery job to the next. A Bigfoot with surprising insight, a witch who sees the future in frozen peas, and a shifter eager to pick up where Fortie left off will all help point Hazel toward the killer.

While Hazel tries to navigate the political infighting in a magical small town, she and her coven are also eager to find out if the fates foreseen for them will come true. And will Hazel and Chief Constable Hightower ever learn to get along?

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Witches Brew

Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.

Why we chose this: Hazel Underwood has come home to her magical small town with her tail between her legs, a renovated funeral home, a body under the hearse, and three witchy new roommates who have very strong opinions about everything. Witches Brew carries the earthy, community-rooted warmth of a series where old magic is woven into a place so thoroughly it has become part of the neighborhood, the scent of a house full of women who know things and are not afraid to use them. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Hazel unpacks her bags and steps back into a life more magical and more complicated than she remembered, and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and clove fill the room like a small town where everyone knows your name and your mother's maiden name and exactly what kind of witch you are.
