The Hermit of Cala Hollow

About the book

Corvus Thorne is a reclusive witch who values her quiet forest sanctuary—and her solitude—above all else. Princess Phaedra Golding is an endlessly cheerful, slightly accident-prone knight who loves people and weaves mystical stories into everyday life. When Phaedra accidentally crashes through Corvus’s poor door, the grumpy witch wants nothing more than to send the sunshine knight packing. But in a land of waning magic, the unlikely pair find themselves bound together by the scheming of an ancient tree guardian—and a shared destiny they can no longer ignore. Joined by a chaotic found family of scholars, royals, and charismatic animal companions, they must combine their unique talents to revive the magic of the land. Can a stubborn witch learn to let the world in, or will the fading magic take her sanctuary with it? Step into the beautiful, accepting world of The Hermit of Cala Hollow—a queer-normative, cosy, low-stakes sapphic fantasy full of found family, sweet romance, neurodivergent-coded characters, and warm, soft comfort. Perfect for fans of low-stress magical worlds, and atmospheric whimsical reads!
