Shadows and Ciders

A faun, a mysterious stranger, and a handful of heat...

‍

Can love survive in the shadows?

‍

Ginger is used to being a side character in her friends’ lives. She is happy with her work—she loves running the pub in Moonvale—but she’s lonely.

‍

Until he arrives.

‍

Shade has no memories. He has arrived in Moonvale, confused, knowing only one thing for certain: Ginger is his mate. The problem is… they’ve never actually met before.

‍

And he’ll do anything to make the union a reality.

‍

When a local competition drives the two together, and as the mystery of Shade’s origin is revealed, will he be able to secure his bride, or will his intensity drive Ginger away forever?

‍

Cozy Pairings

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

Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.

Why we chose this: A mysterious stranger with no memories arrives in Moonvale knowing only one thing with absolute certainty: that the pub owner is his mate. Speakeasy carries the same shadowy, intoxicating atmosphere, layered and complex, with a warmth that draws you in before you fully understand why. Light this candle as Ginger meets the stranger who insists he knows her, and let the rich depth of cardamom and dark chocolate fill the room like a pub on a night when something significant is about to begin.
