Macrina loves living in Percival. But “happy ever after” isn’t a real thing — life keeps happening, and change is a constant. Especially when even your house has opinions!

So much has happened in Macrina’s life, and now it’s time for her to choose her own path forward. As late summer kindles both romance and wildfire, Macrina chooses to step into new adventures, making a difference in her own life and those around her.

The Heart of Percival is a hopeful, cozy fantasy about love in action, growing purpose, and the quiet power of choosing to care.

The Percival Stories, Book 1

A HOME IN PERCIVAL

Macrina loves her little house by Orchard Lake and her work as a freelance magic-user—but life in Percival is quieter and lonelier than she expected. As neighbors—and even her house—reveal secrets, stories, and hidden magic, she discovers that small-town life can be full of unexpected adventures, new friendships, and everyday magic.

At Home in Percival is a cozy, low-angst fantasy with warm community and a home that has mysteries of its own.
