Sourcebooks, Inc The Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic & Murder (4, 2025) | Kiri Callaghan

The first in a brand-new cosy fantasy series from Kiri Callaghan, with an enchanting paranormal twist and a magical murder mystery to solve. *** Worlds collide when changeling Avery Hemlock and human Saga Trygg team up to solve magical murders in London. When a rise in London's supernatural crime puts Fey society at risk of discovery, the Winter Council turns to an unlikely solution: Avery Hemlock, the changeling they sentenced to 500 Years of Nightmares. Inherently lacking social grace and missing approximately two centuries of world knowledge, Avery must find a way to acclimate and solve the case or lose her probationary freedom. After being left at the altar and dropping out of medical school, Saga Trygg attempts to rekindle her faith in life, humanity, and witchcraft. But when her new neighbour, Avery, accidentally reveals the Fey that have been living among humanity all along, Saga realises magic is far more than prayers, intention, and candles. Each faced with navigating an unfamiliar world, the two form an unexpected partnership – but shortly into Avery's investigation, they discover the threat might be closer to Saga than either of them imagined, and Avery will do anything to protect the first friend she's had in more than two hundred years. This deluxe edition of book one in an enchanting new series contains rich bonus features, including gorgeous interior art and beautiful sprayed edges, that will delight collectors and fans of cosy books.
