A Harvest of Hearts

A cosy fantasy that fuses whimsy with dark magic: Foss Butcher, a practical and unassuming butcher’s daughter, becomes entwined with a bafflingly handsome sorcerer, Sylvester, and his clever talking cat as they unravel the secrets at the heart of their kingdom. In a realm where magic-workers harvest human hearts to fuel spells, Foss’s own heart is snagged in a way she never intended. Furious at the turn of events, she travels to the grand City to demand a cure before she perishes from the snagged heart. Sylvester is far from the dashing mage she expected—petulant, new to his powers, and unsure how to reverse the magic. Alongside a sentient house and the moods of the walls, Foss uncovers a deeper truth about the heart-taking and the magic-workers behind it, all while searching for a possibility of true love. This debut blends playful charm with heartfelt discovery, in a story that celebrates courage, humor, and unexpected connections.

In the city, the journey reveals that there is more to power than it seems, and that friendship and resilience may hold the real magic. The narrative blends wit, warmth, and a touch of romance as Foss navigates a world where hearts, secrets, and loyalties collide.
