Cover Reveal: A Witch in Isenshire, by Azalea Forrest
13 Jul 2024Welcome to a new cover reveal!
Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of A Witch in Isenshire, the second book in the cozy fantasy series The Witch of Emelle, written by the SPFBO8 semifinalist Azalea Forrest.
Let's take a look at the blurb:
A Witch in Isenshire is a bold cup of coffee made with determination, personal growth, and adventure.
Magnolia Hanna never thought she’d forgive Basil Olivander, the witch who inadvertently upended so many lives in Lightview. Yet four months after their battle, Basil’s learning to deal with his heartache and make amends. He’s become Maggie’s roommate, her technomancy teacher, and—just maybe—her friend. Now, they’re packing for a trip to visit Maggie’s family in the hidden hamlet of Emelle.
Maggie and Basil face their grief together, finding closure at her late uncle’s grave and comfort among her friends and family. If it were up to her, she would stay for a fortnight, but their trip is cut short at the behest of Lightview’s mayor, who sends the two witches on an adventure of a lifetime—to the advanced city of Isenshire, the birthplace of the automaton.
To Maggie’s dismay, Isenshire’s witches can only use magic with a permit, and their jobs have been reduced to fortune telling and parlor tricks. Magnolia’s fear of her skills being replaced by tech is reignited tenfold. Are the witches in Isenshire truly happy, or are they complacent to the powers that be? Magnolia’s only wish is to make magic relevant again, but she soon finds that the power of the automaton is too awesome to ignore.
A Witch in Isenshire will be released the September 13rd, 2024. You can add it to your Goodreads.
