The Last Apothecary in Hollowmere: A Cozy Fantasy Romance of Healing, Found Family, and Second Chances

Gentle magic, low stakes, and enough tea to heal a broken heart. After a healing spell goes catastrophically wrong in front of the entire royal court, Wren Ashgrove is hanging up her title as court healer for good. She returns to Hollowmere - the mountain village she swore she'd never see again - to reopen her late grandmother's abandoned apothecary. There's just one problem: the whole village has quietly stopped believing in magic. If Wren wants to earn back her confidence, and her neighbors' trust, she won't be able to do it alone. Help arrives from unexpected corners: a teenage apprentice whose magic is a little too big for her, a sharp-tongued cat who's seen more than he lets on, and a blacksmith who remembers exactly why she left. One customer at a time, Wren discovers that Hollowmere's wounds were never the kind a potion can fix. And healing them might be the only way to finally heal her own. A warm, gentle fantasy about second chances, found family, and the quiet magic of showing up - perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.
