Still Here: The Witch of Saltwind Cove - Book 2

One spring into belonging, Senna knows Saltwind Cove the way she knows her own hands: the cold frame latch that wants lifting, the mug on the third shelf, the cliff path taken without choosing. She has done the hard part. She belongs.But belonging, it turns out, is not a destination. It is a practice. And this spring, two arrivals are about to ask her what the practice requires.Fen is fifteen, watchful, and carrying attention magic that has been running too fast for too long - magic that makes fires burn longer, plants grow faster, and rooms feel like someone is paying very close attention. The cove receives this without alarm. Senna receives it with interest, and the impulse to smooth every difficulty before it can become useful.Mira is fifty-something, self-contained, and thirty years into a practice built on a foundation that was never finished. She has followed the thread back to Saltwind Cove to find the teacher who left before she was done. She knows what she needs. She did not come to be managed.Both arrivals will ask the same question of Senna, in different languages: can you care for someone without trying to fix them?Learning the answer will take most of the year. It will cost her something. It will be worth it.Still Here is the second novel in the Witch of Saltwind Cove series - a cozy fantasy for readers who love found family, slow-burn belonging, and worlds that feel genuinely lived in. Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree, T. Kingfisher, and Sarah Beth Durst.Warm, dry, and specific, with magic that responds to attention and a community that knows how to make room.The Witch of Saltwind Cove series: Book 1: The Witch of Saltwind Cove Book 2: Still Here Book 3: Coming soon
