Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful - to the Guild of Mages, to

the brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help.

Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn't proven much use to anyone.

So when Certainty is

offered the chance to earn her magehood, she jumps on it. Never mind that the

assignment is to transport minor artefacts to the dull, unmagical village of

Shpelling, or that it involves working with Mage Aurelia, a brilliant,

unfairly attractive overachiever who's managed to alienate everyone around

her.

In Shpelling, the two

must deal with testy villagers, an unruly catdragon, and their growing

attraction to each other, while avoiding any incidents that could further

damage the Guild's testy relationship with the kingdom's citizens. But magic

is fickle - sooner or later, it is bound to spell trouble . . .

Reviews for The Keeper of Magical Things

Absolute perfection! This book is like the finest pastry, layered with flavour and bursting with happiness! It's gloriously sweet and extraordinarily delightful! I loved every single page! * Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop * The Keeper of Magical Things is the perfect cosy fantasy, with a healthy dose of sweet sapphic romance and gentle humour to round things out. (Also, an adorable dragoncat. That part is very important.) I deeply enjoyed every inch of this novel. In fact, I think I'm going to take my next vacation in Shpelling * Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul * Joyful, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Leong's cozy fantasy debut is a cup of hot (fortune-telling) tea straight to the soul. Readers will delight in road-tripping with Tao, her found family, and their adorable animal companions in this whimsical, healing tale * Amélie Wen Zhao, New York Times and international bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night on The Teller of Small Fortunes * If you're running a little low on serotonin, trust me: brew yourself a hot drink, curl up with this treasure of a tale, and thank me later! It's the warmest, loveliest book I've read in ages * Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches on The Teller of Small Fortunes * The Teller of Small Fortunes is a warm and lovely book that will soothe your heart. Its gentleness and coziness are such a delightful gift * India Holton, international bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels on The Teller of Small Fortunes *
