Mined in Magic
Each year, the chasm-dwelling dwarves compete in a series of trials to find the best among them. Chocolate-loving Astrid has never bothered to enter. She'd rather tend to her garden, bake moss cakes, or search the mines for a way to break her curse, which forever binds her to the mountains.
But someone else puts forth her name. She has no choice but to take part, especially when she learns the champion will win the Everstone-a gemstone with enough magic to break her curse.
At long last, Astrid's freedom is within reach.
Of course, nothing is ever that simple. An infuriating shadow demon joins the competition, dead set on winning the Everstone himself. He'll do whatever it takes to succeed, particularly if it involves pilfering Astrid's cakes or tormenting her until she gives up hope.
But when the Everstone goes missing, they agree to join forces to track it down. And deep within the mines, they discover something in each other that is far more powerful than magic.
Mined in Magic is a stand-alone cozy romantasy set in the whimsical world of Falling for Fables.


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.
