We are very excited to announce our November theme: Cozy Fantasy!
This box includes a hardcover Young Adult fantasy title with STENCILED edges, a foil design on the cover, a signed bookplate along with 3 to 5 other items.
Howl's Moving Castle meets Little Thieves in this fantasy about the teenage owner of a magical curiosity shop and a girl cursed to turn everything she touches into magic.
Running her father's (mostly fake) magical curiosity shop, a young girl hasn't sold anything magical in decades, and it's only hanging on by the skin of the fake dragon's teeth she sells as charms, along with “enchanted” ostrich eggs, taxidermied chimeras, and talismans made of fools' gold.
Until an outlander appears and turns her fakes into exactly what they're purported to be. But try as she might to enlist the outlander’s help, she wants nothing to do with the girl’s shop and her curiosities.
Because the outlander is harboring a secret of her own: everything she touches turns to magic, and the consequences continue to chase her. All she wants to do is find a particular missing grimoire, which contains a spell that can finally put an end to her curse.
Desperate to keep her father's shop, the young girl proposes a bargain that could save them both. Together with the frustratingly handsome printer's assistant, the girls will uncover a plot that goes far deeper than either could have imagined.
And when forced to participate in an ambitious collector's quest for the rarest magical object in the world-a quest that risks almost-certain death-the young girl learns that not all treasure is for sale, and that true magic is closer than she ever could have imagined.
Boxes expect to begin shipping at the end of November/early December.
