The Keeper of Magical Things

Description

Certainty Bulrush wants nothing more than to be useful—whether to the Guild of Mages that took her in, her little brother who counts on her, or anyone who needs help—yet her magic is stubbornly underwhelming. When an assignment offers her a path to magehood, she’s forced to team up with Mage Aurelia, a brilliant overachiever whose perfection has a way of pushing people away. Together, they must transport and sort a collection of minor magical artifacts to the dullest village imaginable—Shpelling—while repairing an old warehouse, managing unruly companions, and preventing a potentially disastrous incident at a moment when the Guild’s relationship with locals is already strained. As Certainty and Aurelia get to know Shpelling’s residents—and each other—the story turns from “keeping magic contained” to discovering what happens when it’s shared with care. With Julie Leong’s warm, witty charm and heartfelt character work, this is a delightfully magical tale of belonging, community, and the complicated sparks that can ignite when attraction meets responsibility.
