Pollen And Peril
(2026)(The third book in the Fossick Lane Mysteries series)
A Story by Wynn Valentine
Spring has arrived in Crabapple Bend.
And the town’s oldest magic is beginning to crack.
The harbor is quiet, the orchards are blooming, and the preservation committee’s most stubborn member has just been poisoned.
When Aldous Fenn collapses during a town meeting, Teddy Vane is pulled into an investigation that reveals a terrifying pattern. The deaths of Vernon Crabb, Dr. Petra Lindgren, and Aldous Fenn were never separate tragedies.
They were steps in a plan.
Someone is targeting the people tied to the ancient ward-stones that sustain Crabapple Bend’s 200-year-old Binding—the magical barrier that protects the town from wild, unpredictable forces.
And if the final stones fall…
So does the town.
As Teddy’s psychometric gift reveals deeper layers of sabotage hidden beneath the streets of Fossick Lane, she and harbor master Nolan Voss are forced to confront truths neither of them can ignore—about the Binding, about the town’s history, and about the growing connection between them.
Because protecting Crabapple Bend may require more than solving a murder.
It may require trusting each other completely.
With Quill’s prickly commentary, a conspiracy buried in the town’s foundations, and magical chaos threatening to break loose, Teddy must uncover the truth before the Binding fails—and before the next name on the list becomes hers.
Spring Reckoning is Book 3 in The Fossick Lane Mysteries, a paranormal cozy mystery series featuring:
• A capable midlife heroine
• A grumpy hedgehog familiar
• Slow-burn, closed-door romance
• Small-town magic with real consequences
• A series-long mystery escalating with every book
Perfect for readers who love paranormal cozy mysteries, magical infrastructure world-building, and layered small-town intrigue.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
