The Midnight Arrow
Marion enjoys her quiet life of solitude in the shadowy woods of the Black Veil, where even the local villagers don’t dare venture. She sells her healing potions at the village market by day and tends to her otherworldly garden by night, caring for her magical bees and furry familiar, Peek, at their cottage.
Then, one moonlit night, she encounters a devilishly handsome male—with powerful wings, sharp fangs, and high fae-like beauty—shot through with a lethal poisoned arrow.
Under her healer’s oath, she’s bound by magic to try to save the mysterious stranger. But as she nurses him back to health, she begins to suspect that Lorik Ravael isn’t quite what he seems. He knows too much about the Black Veil, rumored to be the entrance to the Below, a realm of dangerous magic and soulless monsters. Yet she’s drawn to him, bewitched by his luminous eyes, seductive grin, and silver tongue of riddles.
But as their forbidden desire ignites, she fears Lorik is hiding darker secrets than she imagined—secrets that could cost her a heart she isn’t willing to give.

Cozy Pairings
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: Marion tends her otherworldly garden and her magical bees in the shadowy woods of the Black Veil, and then a winged stranger with sharp fangs and luminous eyes arrives shot through with a poisoned arrow, and her healer's oath means she has no choice but to bring him inside. Speakeasy carries the layered, atmospheric richness of a story where desire and danger are wound together and nothing is quite what it first appears, smoky cardamom and golden saffron and the deep sweetness of dark chocolate settling into something warm and irresistible. Light this candle as Marion begins to suspect that Lorik is hiding more than he is telling, and let the complex warmth fill the room like a cottage at the edge of a forest where the shadows are beautiful and the night holds everything close.
