In the forgotten magical city of Moonhaven, the golden wheat fields sway under the August sun. The town witches gather for the Lammas Festival—a sacred celebration of the first harvest, filled with feasts, blessings, and the legendary Charm Weaving Competition. Witches from all over compete to craft the most potent harvest charm, a spell woven into bread, grain wreaths, or golden honey to ensure prosperity for the year ahead. Rowan Hearthvale, a gifted kitchen witch apprentice, is determined to win this year’s competition and finally step out of her grandmother’s shadow. But when an unknown contestant enters the festival with a forbidden charm, one that hums with wild, untamed magic, the balance of the harvest is thrown into chaos. Crops begin to grow at unnatural speeds, the earth trembles with restless energy, and Moonhaven’s ley lines crackle with unstable power. Tasked by the festival elders with uncovering the mystery behind the rogue magic, Rowan reluctantly teams up with Calder Thornbrook, a skeptical alchemist whose logical mind clashes with her intuitive magic. With the fate of the harvest—and her own future as a witch—on the line, Rowan must decide: will she follow the old ways, or embrace the magic that calls to her soul? Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, magical competitions, enchanted baking, and late-summer enchantments, The Lammas Charm is a tale of self-discovery, forbidden magic, and the power of believing in your own craft.
