The quiet magic of a small-town bookstore is about to be silenced.
Kate Thorne has finally found peace. Her coastal bookstore, Brew & Browse, is a sanctuary where she serves Earl Grey with a side of literature, and her unique family gift-the ability to hear the stories of objects-has settled from a chaotic roar into a manageable hum. She even has a steady anchor in Alex Davenport, the handsome, logic-driven detective who's (mostly) accepted that her world runs on magic.
But peace is a fragile thing in Birkswood.
When a chillingly elegant Collector named Lucian walks into her shop and shuts down her world with the flick of an ancient, obsidian watch, Kate is faced with a terrifying ultimatum: find his missing, memory-stealing artifact, or be permanently severed from her gift, her family, and her very self.
Now, with a magical deadline ticking down, Kate and Alex must hunt for a dangerous locket through the town's hidden history. But the truth they uncover is darker than a simple theft:
Lucian isn't just hunting for a lost toy; he's on a reconnaissance mission, gathering the tools and history of a century-old war between their families.
And the only way to defeat his Nullifying magic is to forge a new weapon-a "sword of hope"-from the very objects he despises.
In a war fought on two fronts-the magical and the mundane-Kate must confront a truth she's been running from: she's not just a Seeker who finds lost things. She's a Warden, a guardian of the most powerful secrets in the world. And she's about to find out what happens when a small-town bookseller decides to fight back.
