The Tinker & the Witch
Come sit by the hearth and enjoy a pint and well packed pipe with Andrew, a seventeen-year-old tinker from a nearby swamp, in this feel-good slice of life, as he tells a tale of tree horses, Night Watchmen and the mythical being covered in eyes that grants dangerous wishes. It’s Eden Vale, a Festival of Lights, in Jatoba, a cozy village nestled high in the hills where Andrew is trying to ply his trade when a blizzard forces him into the leaning cottage on the edge of town that everyone fears.
When Lorna, a powerful witch whose memory is locked inside a sentient chest, saves Andrew’s life, he is compelled to find a way to help her. This sends him on a scavenger-hunt-type adventure in search of a way to open the particularly moody chest holding Lorna’s memories, secrets, and clues to their shared past.
On his journey, Andrew falls in love, enjoys a cup of tea with unique and powerful creatures, and is granted a dangerous and costly wish to help Lorna and ultimately himself.

Cozy Pairings

Langston is a warm and expressive fragrance that opens with spiced notes of nutmeg and clove, softened by the richness of worn leather. At its heart, delicate jasmine and smoky cade add depth and complexity, creating a balance between softness and warmth. The scent settles into a smooth base of vanilla, sandalwood, and amber, bringing a gentle sweetness and a lasting warmth. Layered and inviting, this fragrance feels both comforting and full of character, with a richness that lingers beautifully in the air.
Why we chose this: Andrew is a young tinker sitting by the hearth of a cozy village in the middle of a Festival of Lights, about to step into a story full of tree horses, Night Watchmen, witches, and dangerous wishes. Langston carries the warm, leather-and-spice richness of exactly the kind of evening this story calls for, the scent of a well-packed pipe and a good tale told slowly by firelight. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle before you settle in with Andrew and Lorna, and let the warmth of nutmeg and clove and sandalwood fill the room like a hearth that has been lit in welcome and shows no signs of going out.
