Witchwork and Wishcraft

Wishes, Whispers & a well that won't listen

From the back cover:

Three witches. One enchanted well. A cozy magical mystery where careful phrasing suddenly matters.

When a brass wishing well appears in Winterset square, the town does what any sensible village would do: it starts making wishes.

At first, it's charming. Businesses boom. Petty arguments resolve themselves. A man briefly rolls in money. But the well doesn't grant what people mean — it grants what they say. And when prosperity rises in Winterset, misfortune begins surfacing elsewhere.

Maeven calls it reckless spellwork.
Ivy feels something restless beneath the water.
Juno would like to try just one more experiment.

As wishes collide and longing turns volatile, the coven must restore a missing rune before desire tears the square apart.

Because in Winterset, magic always listens.

It just doesn't do nuance.

Witchwork & Wishcraft is a delightfully chaotic entry in the Witchwork series—warm, witty, and brimming with magical mischief. Perfect for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Legends & Lattes, where wishes run wild, consequences run faster, and even small-town miracles demand careful phrasing.
