Krámek s kouzly – Durst Sarah Beth (2024)

Kiela has always had trouble forming relationships. As a worker at the Alysian Imperial Library, however, she has fortunately spent the last ten years mostly in the company of the rarest magical books, whose contents serve the selected elite of the capital. When a revolution breaks out and flames engulf the library, Kiela and her assistant, an intelligent plant named Kaz, pack as many books as they can carry and flee to her native island of Kaltrej, which she never thought she would see again. As they settle in, Kiela half-horrified discovers that she has a rather curious – and also very handsome – neighbor. Kiela is looking for a way to make a living and soon realizes that something desperately missing on the entire island, even in the local bakery, is jam. Using illegal magic, she soon has plenty of ripe raspberries appear in her garden, which she successfully transforms into delicious jam with the help of an old family recipe book. Therefore, Kiela decides to risk breaking the law against magic and opens the island's first and much-needed secret shop of spells. A kind story full of magical beings and scented with cinnamon rolls will warm your soul and delight your heart.
