Erin Cassidy has spent her whole life helping other people say goodbye. A traveling witch with an elderly crow, a temperamental camper, and no fixed address, she comes to the little lake town of Birchwood for Samhain to help an old friend hold a failing lodge through one more winter, and to lead the town's vigil on the thinnest night of the year.
She did not plan on Charlie Larson.
Charlie is in town for two weeks to empty his late grandmother's cottage, sell it, and be gone before the cold sets in, armed with an easy grin and a strict policy against feeling anything he can joke his way out of. But Erin's quiet magic has a way of holding open the doors people would rather keep shut, and the one goodbye Charlie keeps dodging is the one the whole long night is bending him toward. She is the woman who walks everyone else across their thresholds. Loving him might be the thing that finally makes the one who never stays want to be kept.
Trick of the Light is a short, tender prequel to The Witches of Birchwood Lake. It is a quiet, wistful Samhain love story about grief, second chances, and the courage it takes to let yourself be held, and it reads slower and softer than the seven books that follow. Think of it as the doorway into the world of Birchwood. Come spring, the lodge's magic truly wakes, and the series turns it all the way up.
Inside you will find cozy autumn atmosphere, a witch who has made her peace with endings, a crow with a criminal record, a lodge cat who runs the building and says so, a closed-door slow burn, and a happily-ever-after. Midlife magic, low on spice, high on warmth.
Start here. Then meet the burned-out chef, the grumpy caretaker, and the lodge that will not let him leave in Book 1, Too Many Cooks.
