Magic, Cats, and Dungeon Rats (Bramblevale: Office of Unlawful Magic #1)

The author of Owls, Tea Shops, and Other Magical Nuisances brings you an all-new cozy fantasy. Set in a welcoming, picturesque village, this series will delight romantasy lovers looking for a high-humor, low-action fantasy story that feels like an indulgent book version of a whipped-cream-laden “hug in a mug.”

Three years ago, Juniper Woodfield chose employment over marriage and came to work at the Office of Unlawful Magic in sleepy Bramblevale. She now spends her days assisting the royal court sorcerer, visiting the local bookshop, and enjoying an occasional cup of hot chocolate at the local tavern. Life is good—until her family decides she’s more useful to them with a ring on her finger.

Horrified to discover her uncle is entertaining marriage offers without her input, Juniper decides she must thwart his plan and elope. The only problem is choosing her future husband.

Suddenly, she has more options than she knows what to do with, and the only man she wants to marry is inconveniently unavailable.

On top of that, someone has abducted her employer’s beloved cat, and a duo of bandits is causing havoc in the village. In order for Juniper to return to her peaceful existence, she must rescue the cat, rid the village of the bandits, and find a man interested in a quick, convenient marriage…

Preferably before her uncle chooses one for her.

Magic, Cats, and Dungeon Rats is the first book in Bramblevale: Office of Unlawful Magic, a connected series with a lovable cast of characters. The books in this series feature warm, closed-door romance. (Passionate kisses and some innuendo, but no spicy scenes.)
