A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping
Sangu Mandanna
by Sangu Mandanna
Mika Moon has spent her entire life following a single, lonely rule: hide her magic. As one of the few witches in Britain, she keeps her powers under wraps to avoid detection, finding her only outlet in an online persona that she believes is safely anonymous. When a mysterious invitation arrives requesting her presence at the secluded Nowhere House to tutor three young, volatile witches, Mika breaks her own code of isolation and accepts.
At Nowhere House, Mika discovers a chaotic, eccentric family that defies everything she knows about her kind. Amidst the retired actors, loyal caretakers, and the children who desperately need her guidance, she encounters Jamie, the house’s prickly, protective librarian. Their relationship is defined by a tense, magnetic friction; Jamie views Mika as a reckless outsider, while she finds him infuriatingly difficult to ignore.
As Mika settles into this vibrant, hidden world, she begins to crave the belonging she once thought impossible. However, the house harbors secrets of its own, and when an external threat looms, Mika must decide if she is willing to shatter the safety of her solitary life to defend the found family she never expected to cherish.
