✨Cozy fantasy meets rom com

The dice have spoken. The match is fated. The knight is ecstatic but the witch is furious.

Elira has no time for love—not after a charming knight shattered her heart and her favorite scrying mirror in one foul swoop. She's perfectly content running her potion shop, rolling her eyes at romance, and muttering hexes under her breath.

But when her meddling best friend convinces her to sign her up for the Festival of the Fates—a magical matchmaking ceremony where enchanted dice determine your ideal partner-Elira agrees.

Then the dice match her with him.

Sir Tavian of the Stupidly Perfect Smile. The flirtatious, golden-boy knight who's always dropping by her shop with an excuse and a grin.

Now, Elira is stuck cohabitating with her sworn type-of-man-to-avoid for an entire moon cycle. If they can survive enchanted bonding challenges, magical cooking contests, and one very competitive beer pong game, they might just find that love isn't a roll of the dice after all...

It's fate. It's chaos. It might just be love.

For fans of spicy slow-burns, grumpy/sunshine banter, magical matchmaking, and fantasy worlds where even love has a stat sheet.
