The Charmwitch Seamstress

A royal assignment. A burned-out seamstress. A reluctant homecoming.

After the whirlwind of last winter's royal tour, Giselle Phula thought she had everything she ever desired: a name as a talented royal seamstress, a commission to sew the crown princess's wedding dress, and her very own dress shop in Delibera-only no one seems to remember her name, the wedding dress keeps going awry, and her shop, located in the seediest underbelly of town, is proving to be an unprofitable business venture.

When Giselle is suddenly evicted by her tyrannical landlady, she has no choice but to accept another royal assignment: become the tour guide for a handsome emissary whose visit to Witch Village will promote harmony between humans and their magical counterparts. But going home is the last thing Giselle wants. Her plan of action?

Get in, hole up with the emissary for two weeks, get out.

However, when a weather malfunction plunges the entire village into darkness and injures her handsome charge, Giselle is forced to stay and face the family she abandoned last winter. As tensions run high between humans and witches, Giselle must learn who to trust, who to love, and question what she truly desires.
