About this book
House witch Finlay Ashowan must contend with matters of the heart, hearth, family, and kingdom in the second book of a whimsical and winning fantasy series As a wielder of domestic magic, Finlay Ashowan likes to keep his affairs as neat and orderly as his kitchen. But between his work for the King and Queen of Daxaria and a new (secret) relationship with Lady Annika Jenoure, his life is anything but tidy. For one thing, if Annika and Fin are to continue their romance, they’ll need to sort out the pesky issue of Fin’s being a commoner—before Annika is forced into a political marriage that interferes with her own carefully laid plans. For another, pressure is mounting as the war with Troivack draws ever closer. When Fin requests time away from the castle to rest, the King agrees but under a very particular condition: Fin must brave the streets of Austice as a spy, sleuthing out the plans of the Troivackian troops allegedly hidden there. Further complicating things, Fin’s estranged father is on his way to Daxaria, an unexpected and unappreciated arrival that’s bound to wreak even more havoc in his son’s life. As Fin forges new friendships and alliances—magical and non-magical alike—he becomes even more enmeshed in courtly intrigues, old feuds, and very personal problems. And the more he tries to clean up the various messes in his life, the more apparent it becomes that his troubles are only just beginning... The second volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

What readers are saying
Raven readsI am loving this so much.
"Fin and his found family/kingdom is such a breath of fresh air. I am loving this story so much so far. I love how the author is tying this together and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Annika had her plans within plans, and Fin is just holding the country together, whether he realizes it or not. People become attached to him quickly, either through frustration or friendship. I laughed out loud more than once and I have enjoyed the bad guys getting stopped. Now for two more….cruel chuckle… ["

CraigSurprisingly Deep Sequel, Good Middle Book for a Trilogy
"For the second time, I feel like the book ended suddenly. In book one the ending wrapped up well, yet there was more I wanted to know about. This one doesn't wrap up after as big a moment, so I felt like it wasn't as complete as book one. However, the character development in this book was superb. Each character grew in depth and flavor. It still felt cozy and funny, like the first book, but it also became more serious at times. The section with the queen was heartwrenching and I was not prepared for it. But it was refreshingly high stakes, which you don't often get from cozy fantasy. Overall, this was a very good book 2. I'm eager to read the conclusion to everything in book 3. (And I definitely need more Kraken!) ["
