It’s time to get her spark back . . .

Once, Sera Swan was one of the most powerful witches in Britain – until she sacrificed most of her magic to resurrect her beloved aunt. Now she runs an enchanted inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests’ shenanigans and longs for a future that seems entirely lost.

Then she meets Luke Larsen, the handsome and icy magical historian who could hold the key to restoring her power. Luke has no interest in the inn’s goings-on or letting a certain witch past his walls, so no one is more surprised than he when he agrees to help. Worse, he might actually be thawing.

But as the two work together alongside the family Sera has built, she begins to wonder . . . could love be the best magic of all?

A witch has a second chance to get her magical powers – and her life back on track in this feel-good, whimsical New York Times bestselling cosy fantasy from the author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Utterly delightful! A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping is a cosy hug of a novel with the perfect amount of bite. Mandanna's characters never fail to capture my heart and this eclectic bunch of misfits were no exception (there's even a talking fox and a zombie chicken!). Truly the perfect book to curl up on the couch with
