**LIMITED EDITION WITH DELUXE DESIGNED EDGES**
STARDEW VALLEY meets STUDIO GHIBLI in a charming cozy fantasy about healing old wounds, putting down new roots, and finding magic in the most unexpected of places. Perfect for fans of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and The Spellshop.
After surviving years of war, soup mage Thorne Everleigh and his best friend Dell Shepherd dream of a quiet place to put down roots, where every tomorrow is more likely to bring fresh bread than battles. The quirky community of Cloven Valley seems perfect, but there's just one catch: the first time Thorne cooks in his new kitchen, his cauldron fills not with soup, but with tiny creatures made of pure chaos with very strong opinions about...well, everything.
Most people would flee a home overrun by imps, but Thorne and Dell have spent enough of their lives running. This time, they stay. And as Cloven Valley's delightfully peculiar residents fold them into their community, the scars of war slowly begin to fade. Between negotiating with their new imp roommates, befriending a cupcake warlock and the local tome witch, and dodging rampant speculation about their relationship, Thorne and Dell begin to believe something they never thought possible: They've finally found home.
But Cloven Valley is quietly fading. Something--or someone--is causing the ancient magic that has sheltered the town for generations to fail, and unless Thorne and Dell can save it, the haven they've only just begun to love may become yet another place they'll have to leave behind forever.
Brief description:
Autumn K. England grew up on the Space Coast of Florida watching shuttle launches from the backyard. These days, they live on a micro-farm in rural Virginia packed with video and board games, plants, D&D books, and their kindergartener's giant personality. They're probably covered in dirt right now.
