The Starwick Seal
(2025)(The second book in the Level One Bookshop series)
A novel by Arthur Glenwood
Edwin Salamand thought running a bookshop for beginners was complicated enough. But now that he's settled into his role as Starwick's most unlikely shop owner, winter brings a new challenge: his skill tomes are failing.
When customers start returning books with fading magic and blurred text, Edwin discovers it's not just his shos. It's happening across the entire city. Even worse, the earthquakes shaking Starwick's foundations might be connected to the magical blight affecting everyone's abilities.
Armed with his Shopkeeper skills and a frost-breathing salamander named Cricket, Edwin must unite squabbling wizards, suspicious city guards, and his delightfully chaotic community to uncover the truth. Because someone is profiting from Starwick's magical crisis, and they'll do anything to keep their scheme running.
But Edwin's learned a thing or two about throwing his weight around. Even if that weight is mostly books, good intentions, and the occasional bowl of Sherry's stew.
The Starwick Seal is the sequel to The Level One Bookshop and continues Edwin's cozy adventures with slightly higher stakes, deeper friendships, and the discovery that sometimes the best way to help a city is one stabilized tome at a time.
Genre: Fantasy
