Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings
Saving the world is such a bother when it makes you late for tea.
Wizard Lily Singer is kept busy managing library archives, studying magic, and trying to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. Unfortunately, he loves adventure even more than she loves being left alone.
She doesn't want to investigate a malignant spell in a haunted house, but Sebastian is promising rare books as the reward. She also doesn't want to hurt her family but is tired of being lied to about her past. And she definitely doesn't want to get stuck in a dangerously unstable time loop, but Sebastian is in trouble - again....
Strangling her friend, as satisfying as it would be, won't fix her problems. If she wants answers and to not miss tea, she had best find the right spell for the job - before everything goes to hell and takes them all with it.

Cozy Pairings

Book of Spells is a deep and atmospheric fragrance that blends the richness of dark chocolate with smooth sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea. Warm and layered, this scent carries a subtle dryness reminiscent of aged pages, balanced by a soft, lingering sweetness. The result is a fragrance that feels both grounding and slightly unexpected, with a warmth that settles gently into the space. Rich without being heavy, it creates an inviting, bookish atmosphere that lingers beautifully in the air.
Why we chose this: Wizard Lily Singer manages library archives, studies magic, and tries very hard to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. She rarely succeeds. From haunted houses to time loops to ancient evil in the English countryside, the adventures keep finding her whether she wants them to or not. Book of Spells carries the deep, atmospheric bookishness of Lily's world, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like an archive full of carefully catalogued secrets. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a library where the magic is always one shelf away from where you were looking.
