Seeing Red in Gretna Green
Have you ever agreed to something and, when the time came, wondered what planet your mouth had been on when it accepted the invitation?
Welcome to my freaking world.
A warning from a Fae seer didn’t help Tilly and me get into the right mood for our break in Prince Dai ap Modron’s ‘lovely mountain home’ for the St. David’s Day festival.
What was supposed to be a well-earned holiday quickly turned into a nightmare.
Did I mention the unbelievable cold? The snowstorm? The complete absence of drinkable coffee?
As if that wasn’t enough, King Troels of the Vikings launched a surprise attack on the Gateway, leaving us scrambling to fend off the invaders. But then the power took a liking to Prince Rollo … nope, enough. No spoilers!
You just need to read the book.

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: Niki McKnight arrived in Gretna Green with no idea what a Recorder was, and found herself in a sentient Scottish house managing Celtic gods, Fae kings, Viking royalty, and a talking cat with strong opinions about everything. Witches Brew is the candle for every book in this series, earthy and ancient, with the soft floral depth of a place where old magic has been living quietly for centuries. It smells like a hearth in a house that knows your name, like something brewing that has been brewing for a very long time. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and violet fill the room like a magical estate in Scotland where the past and the present are always in lively, occasionally chaotic conversation.
