About The Spellshop

Kiela, a reclusive librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, flees a revolution with a crate of precious spellbooks and her sentient spider-plant assistant, Caz. Back on the island where she grew up, she finds a struggling community, a very nosy neighbour, and a risky chance to share magic with ordinary people. As her secret spellshop grows, Kiela has to decide whether safety is worth more than belonging.
