The Witch at the Edge of the Wood

Velina has escaped the workhouse on the hunt for one thing: the witch who can grant her wish to live a normal life. Born with silver hair and noticeably pointy ears, she's passed from workhouse to workhouse since she can remember—shunned for her mysterious heritage.

But the witch’s cottage she finds at the edge of the wood is abandoned, and as soon as she starts making herself at home, someone else comes calling: a noble with a wish of his own. With the promise of his coin, she agrees to help him, when she starts noticing something strange about the cottage.

Velina must find a way to help the noble, and others who come calling—but can she help herself?

Cozy Pairings

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

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.
