A Curious Kind of Magic (Exclusive OwlCrate Edition)

A Curious Kind of Magic is a cozy fantasy about the teenage owner of a (mostly fake) magical curiosity shop and a girl cursed to turn everything she touches into magic.

Willow is the charlatan of Ardmuir, running her late father’s curiosities shoppe, which hasn’t sold anything magical in years and is hanging on by a thread. Until Brianna appears and turns the fake items into real magic. Because Briana is harboring a secret of her own: a curse where everything she touches turns to magic.

Desperate to keep her father's shoppe, Willow proposes a bargain that could save them both. Together with the frustratingly handsome printer's assistant, they uncover a plot that goes far deeper than either could have imagined.
