Emmi Castor grew up in a small town near Salem. Her home is centuries old, originally built by an ancestor renowned for witchcraft. Her grandfather converted the house into the Museum of Magic, collecting the arcane and putting it on display for all to see. But Emmi knows one thing for absolute certain...
Magic is not real.
But then a fae boy named Puck appears inside her house, the broken remains of a centuries-old witch bottle at his feet. At nearly the same time, a Hunter arrives on her doorstep, weapons drawn. Ghostly shadows call to her from the mirror, and Emmi's grandfather is missing-perhaps kidnapped by nefarious fae, perhaps victim to the those who prey on magic.
History hides the truth.
Puck tells Emmi that she has the power to protect magical beings. He's fae, but he's also her only ally, and together, they explore the real life history of witchcraft mingled with the unknown influence of the fae. Emmi must reconstruct the witch bottle, save her grandfather, and maybe even fall in love...but she has to be careful.
You can never trust the fae.
This is truly a story told like no other--the author wrote the text one chapter at a time in conjunction with reader votes, dice roles, tarot card pulls, and other forms of chance! The end result is a fun, unexpected romp where you never know what will happen next...but other than the fictional main characters, all the history and lore in the book is based on real events, archives, and texts. Originally published in Kindle Vella, the sequel, House of Hex, is currently being released one chapter at a time on Kindle Vella. Read this book now, and dive into the sequel immediately!Emmi Castor thought she escaped the dangers of dealing with the fae when she sacrificed her magic to build a new witch bottle, one designed to both protect magical beings and witches like her. She struck a bargain with an ancient fae king to get her grandfather back and hopefully return to normal life, but she forgot...
You can never trust the fae.
Emmi is more than ready to resume life with her grandfather at the Museum of Magic. But nothing is as it seems. Her beloved home twists into a house of secrets, lies, and hexes, and Emmi is now powerless to protect the people she loves.
History hides the truth.
Emmi may not have magic, but she does have her library. And Puck. Learning who-and what-Puck is wasn't easy, but Emmi has discovered that the truth is more important than any spell or potion. And while she may have lost some powers along the way, there's one thing she knows with absolute certainty...
Magic is very real.
And it just may save them all.
