Ogrzewająca serce historia cozy fantasy w stylu Legend i Latte i Asystentki złoczyńcy! Pewnego dnia na dwór Króla i Królowej Daxarii przybywa Fin – mężczyzna, który dla wszystkich mieszkańców zamku jest prawdziwą zagadką. Nikt nie wie, skąd się wziął, jak trafił na dwór ani dlaczego właściwie chce pracować jako królewski kucharz. Nowy członek kuchennego personelu stawia reszcie służby niecodzienny warunek: w czasie gdy będzie gotował, nikt inny nie będzie mógł znajdować się w kuchni. Koniec końców podejrzliwi współpracownicy zgadzają się na jego żądania i zaczynają powoli rozsmakowywać się w jego niesamowitych daniach. Tajemnica przepysznych potraw Fina szybko zostaje wyjaśniona – nowy kucharz to tak naprawdę – uwaga! – domowy czarownik, a jego magia służy do zapewniania otoczeniu rodzinnej atmosfery. Wkrótce kuchnia Fina staje się dla mieszkańców zamku prawdziwym azylem, w którym zagoszczą między innymi mały książę Eryk oraz śliczna wdowa Annika. Z czasem Fin zostaje wplątany w sieć dworskich spisków i angażuje się w życie dworu, ratując damę w opałach, chroniąc brzemienną królową, a nawet pokonując wroga. A to tylko początek, ponieważ za chwilę jego przeszłość powróci do niego w najmniej oczekiwany sposób, a życie miłosne stanie się bardziej skomplikowane…

Domowy czarownik Fin lubi porządek w kuchni i poza nią, mimo to nie zapowiada się, żeby udało mu się uporządkować wszystkie swoje sprawy. Po pierwsze, bez tytułu szlacheckiego nie ma szans na oficjalne zaloty u swojej ukochanej Anniki, którą rodzina chce zmusić do politycznego małżeństwa. Po drugie, zbliża się wojna z Troivackiem – i kiedy Fin prosi o chwilę wytchnienia poza murami zamku, król idzie mu na rękę… ale pod warunkiem, że kuchmistrz będzie dla niego szpiegował na ulicach Austice. Po trzecie – i to chyba najgorsza okoliczność – ojciec Fina jest w drodze do Daxarii. Jego przybycie z pewnością spowoduje jeszcze większe zamieszanie w życiu syna. W miarę jak Fin zawiera nowe przyjaźnie i sojusze – te magiczne i te całkiem zwyczajne – wplątuje się w kolejne dworskie intrygi. Odżywają stare waśnie i osobiste problemy. A im bardziej próbuje posprzątać ten bałagan, tym bardziej staje się oczywiste, że to dopiero początek jego kłopotów. Czy Finowi uda się je pokonać?

A young woman navigates a web of politics, assassination attempts, and romance in the first book of a new series set in the world of the House Witch trilogy. Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal. Even worse, Kat is forced to make the long journey from Daxaria to Troivack with Alina’s extremely irksome brother, Eric, the crown prince of Daxaria. Kat and the formerly missing prince are constantly at each other’s throats—until, that is, they begin to form an unexpected kinship . . . with perhaps something more flickering beneath the surface. Now Kat must contend with the strictures of Troivackian court, mysterious assassination attempts, and her unsettling new feelings for Eric, all as her fiery powers are becoming harder and harder to control.

Book 3 of 3: The Burning Witch A young witch takes on burning new passions, simmering ancient grudges, and timeless magical mayhem in the last book of this delightful romantasy trilogy. Lady Katarina Ashowan is used to getting into trouble, but her latest muddle takes the cake. A moment’s weakness in her attraction to Eric Reyes, crown prince of Daxaria, has landed her in an unexpected marriage with the man . . . just as her father, Lord Finlay Ashowan, arrives in Troivack to check on his headstrong daughter. As if figuring out how to acclimate her father to her scandalous elopement isn’t bad enough, there are rumors of dangerous magical plots afoot at court—with Kat seemingly at the center of them all. For one thing, the devil is still prowling around, with dubious intentions as to Kat’s powers. For another, an underground network of wrongdoers has been spreading a mysterious and addictive drug throughout both Troivack and Daxaria. And perhaps most concerning, a villainess is hiding in plain sight somewhere close to Kat and her best friend, Queen Alina, hoping to use them to strike at the devil. Now it’s up to Kat—with the help of her kitten familiar, Pina, as well as her friends and family—to untangle the twisted web of courtly and magical intrigue before her hurried honeymoon is cut short by deadly disaster . . . A pitch-perfect blend of humor, romance, fantasy, and mystery, The Burning Witch 3 is the brilliant and heart-pounding conclusion to the enchanting House Witch spin-off series. The third volume of a new spin-off of the hit romantic-fantasy series that has more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

House witch Finlay Ashowan must contend with matters of the heart, hearth, family, and kingdom in the second book of a whimsical and winning fantasy series. As a wielder of domestic magic, Finlay Ashowan likes to keep his affairs as neat and orderly as his kitchen. But between his work for the King and Queen of Daxaria and a new (secret) relationship with Lady Annika Jenoure, his life is anything but tidy. For one thing, if Annika and Fin are to continue their romance, they’ll need to sort out the pesky issue of Fin’s being a commoner—before Annika is forced into a political marriage that interferes with her own carefully laid plans. For another, pressure is mounting as the war with Troivack draws ever closer. When Fin requests time away from the castle to rest, the King agrees but under a very particular condition: Fin must brave the streets of Austice as a spy, sleuthing out the plans of the Troivackian troops allegedly hidden there. Further complicating things, Fin’s estranged father is on his way to Daxaria, an unexpected and unappreciated arrival that’s bound to wreak even more havoc in his son’s life. As Fin forges new friendships and alliances—magical and non-magical alike—he becomes even more enmeshed in courtly intrigues, old feuds, and very personal problems. And the more he tries to clean up the various messes in his life, the more apparent it becomes that his troubles are only just beginning . . .

Fin’s father, Aidan Helmer, fire witch and servant of King Matthias of Troivack, has arrived in the kingdom with devastating news: Annika’s brother Charles has been taken prisoner, and the only way his life will be spared is if Annika or Fin goes to plead his case. Given that an attack from Troivack is imminent, there’s no way some trickery isn’t involved in this plot. Now it’s up to Fin, with the help of his family, friends, and wily kitten familiar, Kraken, to attempt a daring mission of rescue and espionage. But he’ll need to move quickly—because if he can’t find a way to fend off his father and keep Daxaria safe, all his dreams might go up in flames.
