I, Talia Brightwell, am just a cheerful sun witch trying to plan the perfect Ostara festival until mysterious eggs appear, leading me to a brooding gargoyle who awakens feelings that bloom more vibrantly than any of my herbs.When Evershift Haven's very pregnant witch hands me the reins to this year's spring celebration, I expect nothing more complicated than flower arrangements and light enchantments. What I don't expect is finding a mysterious egg humming ancient lullabies in my herb cart, or discovering it's magically tethered to Dorian Thorne, the centuries-old gargoyle, who perches above the chapel and treats conversation like a cursed object.Suddenly, more eggs appear throughout town, the long-dormant sacred grove pulses with new life after a century of silence, and every magical trail leads straight back to Dorian. He's taciturn, stubborn, and literally carved from stone, but when our magic touches, the world sings...and my heart follows suit.As Ostara approaches, the equinox magic surges through the town, drawing fated souls together with an irresistible pull. Now, I must decide if I'm brave enough to entwine my roots with someone who's been guarding his wounded heart for a hundred years.Welcome back to Evershift Haven, where seasonal magic flows through every street, meddlesome townsfolk consider matchmaking a civic duty, and each festival brings a fresh opportunity for enchanted romance. This cozy spring tale blossoms with tender feelings, stone-hearted protectors who secretly crave warmth, mysterious magical artifacts, and slow-burn passion. Sweet with a dash of spice that's guaranteed to leave you believing in magical new beginnings.
