The Bookshop for Lost Witches

Seven days from now, a man will die in Mara Vale's bookshop-and the book predicting his murder names Mara as the killer.When thirty-one-year-old Mara inherits The Lantern & Quill in storm-lashed Bellweather Cove, she expects dust, debts, and a quick sale. Instead, she discovers shelves that rearrange themselves, a biscuit-stealing binderling named Nib, and strange volumes that rewrite their pages for whoever holds them.Some reveal memories. Some expose buried truths. One predicts murder.With the clock running down, Mara must investigate a council chair with dangerous secrets, a guarded boatwright haunted by an old tragedy, and a town full of people whose histories refuse to stay buried. But every magical revelation takes something in return-and the closer Mara comes to the truth, the more the book's prophecy begins to look unavoidable.To save a life and uncover what her grandmother hid, Mara must decide whether a future written in ink can still be changed.A warm, atmospheric cozy fantasy mystery filled with found family, seaside magic, low-gore suspense, and slow-burn romance.
