Synopsis
Hazel Wildfern never planned to stay. After a magical experiment gone wrong and a ruined career, she flees the Lyceum and her former life. When a snowstorm strands her in the small town of Silverfern Hollow, Hazel finds herself surrounded by nosy goblins, enchanted snow, and festive chaos—not to mention a flock of mischievous dust bunny fairies obsessed with socks. But Silverfern Hollow has a quiet kind of magic: spiced wine shared by the hearth, chicken races on ice, and neighbors who believe even the most burned-out witch deserves a fresh start. As Hazel is swept into the preparations for Luminara, the winter festival of lights, she must decide whether to leave once the snow melts… or finally allow herself to belong. Hazel and the Dust Bunny Fairies is a heartwarming, magical holiday novella full of healing, found family, and second chances. Perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes , The House in the Cerulean Sea , Kiki’s Delivery Service , and Howl’s Moving Castle .
