Thankfully, as a librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she and her assistant, Caz—a magically sentient spider plant—have spent the last decade sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz flee with all the spellbooks they can carry and head to a remote island Kiela never thought she’d see again: her childhood home. Taking refuge there, Kiela discovers, much to her dismay, a nosy—and very handsome—neighbour who can’t take a hint and keeps showing up day after day to make sure she’s fed and to help fix up her new home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn need of income, Kiela identifies something that even the bakery in town doesn’t have: jam. With the help of an old recipe book her parents left her and a bit of illegal magic, her cottage garden is soon covered in ripe berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut magic can do more than make life a little sweeter, so Kiela risks the consequences of using unsanctioned spells and opens the island’s first-ever and much needed secret spellshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike a Hallmark rom-com full of mythical creatures and fuelled by cinnamon rolls and magic, \u003ci\u003eThe Spellshop\u003c\/i\u003e will heal your heart and feed your soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432587542764,"sku":"9781250333971","price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250333971.jpg?v=1774555252"},{"product_id":"sea-of-charms-by-sarah-beth-durst-9781035079520","title":"Sea of Charms","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer boat.

But now for all her power, if she leaves the world before a new heir is ready, the spirits that inhabit her beloved realm will run wild, destroying her cities and slaughtering her people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNaelin is one such potential heir, but she couldn’t be further removed from the Queen—and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Her world is her two children, her husband, and the remote village tucked deep in the forest that is her home, and that’s all she needs. But when Ven, the Queen’s champion, passes through the village, Naelin’s ambitious husband proudly tells him of his wife’s ability to control spirits—magic that Naelin fervently denies. She knows that if the truth of her abilities is known, it will bring only death and separation from those she loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Ven has a single task: to find the best possible candidate to protect the people of Aratay. He did it once when he discovered Daleina, and he’s certain he’s done it again. Yet for all his appeals to duty, Naelin is a mother, and she knows her duty is to her children first and foremost. Only as the spirits become emboldened—even as ominous rumours trickle down from the north—does she realise that the best way to keep her son and daughter safe is to risk everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Beth Durst established a place of dark wonder in \u003cem\u003eThe Queen of Blood\u003c\/em\u003e, and now the stakes are even higher as the threat to the Queen and her people grows both from within and beyond the borders of Aratay in this riveting second novel of the Queens of Renthia series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603267829996,"sku":"9780063444881","price":52.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780063444881-the-reluctant-queen.jpg?v=1778059300"},{"product_id":"sea-of-charms-by-sarah-beth-durst-9781035079537","title":"Sea of Charms","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer boat.
