Fire Opals & Family
My name is Delaney Stone: small-town pharmacist, certified pilot, and first-known genetic inheritor of supernatural pica. Hand-in-hoof with my emotional support pig, I travel the world tasting every mineral I can get my hands on, alchemizing their special essences into “parascientific” potions. Until recently, life was lonely but simple…
And then along came Heath Spencer, Disrupter of Solitude and Disseminator of Chaos.
Thanks to our recent discovery of ancient Hunnic treasure, we now find ourselves racing across Hungary to find Attila the Hun’s legendary golden tomb before a swarm of rival archaeologists gets there first. To make things exponentially worse, one of those rival archeologists happens to be Heath’s brilliant and beautiful ex-girlfriend, Julie.
Suddenly, being the first to find Attila’s long-lost tomb is no longer a matter of pride; it’s a matter of proving my worth. Because if Julie finds it before I do, I’m convinced Heath will realize he made the wrong choice. With so much at stake, I’ve got no other option but to rely on my parascientific powers more than ever before, taking risks that threaten far more than mere bodily safety.
It’s funny; I used to hate wet socks more than anything. Now – between danger, heartbreak, and glamourous tomb-raiding exes – I can confidently say wet socks are the least of my problems.

Cozy Pairings

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: Delaney eats rocks to extract their magic and has been hiding her extraordinary abilities under a white lab coat for years, until her insufferable arch nemesis dangled the opportunity of a lifetime in front of her face and she found herself trapped halfway across the world with everything she thought she knew turning out to be wrong. Witches Brew carries the earthy, slightly unexpected warmth of a story where magic has been hiding in plain sight inside something entirely ordinary, the scent of old knowledge surfacing in an unlikely place. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Delaney and Heath chase rare minerals across the world, and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and clove fill the room like a laboratory where the most important discoveries were never on the syllabus.
