The Library at the Edge of the Wood
On his way back from delivering a parcel one day, Everson stumbles across an empty cottage at the edge of the wood, where he quickly discovers its secret: there’s magic within these walls, and he can make this place into the secluded home of his dreams.
His dreams, of course, include wall to wall books, and when a stranger stops for directions and mistakes it for a library, Everson gets an idea: the first free library in Wrestia, where all are welcome.
Born with silver hair and pointy ears of the “cursed” faerûn, Everson has always had to hide his identity, particularly ever since his mother married the lord of Wrestia—and he’s kept to himself ever since.
But when his stepbrother summons him to the palace, Everson is confronted by the one person from his childhood who knows his secret: his step-brother’s new fiancé.
Can he create the welcoming library of his dreams, or will it crumble to ruin before he even gets started?

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: A magical cottage at the edge of the wood that becomes a free library, and a young woman who stumbles into it looking for a witch and finds something she never expected: these two stories share the same quiet enchantment, the feeling of a hidden space that draws people in and changes them without announcing itself. Book of Spells carries that same deep, atmospheric warmth, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like a cottage full of books and old magic. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a library at the edge of a wood, where the door is always open and something wonderful is always waiting on the shelves.
