The Unwalked Routes of the Hearthkeeper
(2026)(The third book in the Enchanted Post Chronicles series)
A novel by Paula Lester
Some routes aren't on any map.
One year ago, Phoenix Firebolt stepped off a train into the enchanted village of Mosshollow and found a home she didn't know she'd been missing. Now, on the anniversary of her arrival, she discovers something her mother left behind: a ledger of postal routes that haven't been walked in forty years. Houses forgotten. Neighbors gone quiet. Letters that were never delivered because no one came to the door.
Phoenix decides to reopen them, one route at a time.
What she finds along the way is stranger and sweeter than she expected: a recluse who hasn't spoken to the village in decades, a cottage that remembers her grandmother, and a letter that has been waiting on a doorstep for longer than Phoenix has been alive.
She is the Hearthkeeper now. And some of the most important letters are the ones that have been waiting the longest to be delivered.
The Unwalked Routes of the Hearthkeeper is the third cozy fantasy adventure in The Enchanted Post Chronicles, featuring a found-family village, a puffin with opinions, a slow-burn romance years in the making, and the gentle magic of showing up for people who thought they'd been forgotten.
Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree, Sangu Mandanna, and Heather Fawcett.
Genre: Fantasy
