Deepward of Willowfen

Mara Thorne has survived her first winter as the Deepward of Willowfen. She has the rite. She has the rhythm. She has the cottage, the hedge with its opinions, and Tessa's bread waiting when she comes home from the pool upstream. For the first time since Eamon died, something feels like it might hold.Then Elin arrives at the river with her aunt's old journal, and a word Mara hoped never to hear again. Ashenmere.The pool has been growing. The reeds at the far bend are wrong. And a traveller with old coin and older knowledge arrives in Willowfen carrying a piece of the puzzle Mara didn't know she was missing.The Deepward of Willowfen is the third book in the Willowfen Chronicles, a cozy fantasy series for readers who want gentle magic, found family, and women who have already survived the hard thing and are quietly building something new. Perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes, A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping, and The Spellshop.
