Another charming and romantic cosy YA fantasy standalone from Aamna Qureshi, set in the same magical world as A Witch's Guide to Love and Poison.

Unlike her brothers, Sonya was not made for the crown. At least according to her father. Born without magic and often disregarded, she decides to run away from the castle and leave her old life behind.

Having never left the castle grounds, it isn't long before she finds herself in trouble and wakes in a beautiful cottage with a handsome stranger sitting beside her - Azam, a 'stitch-witch'. He offers her a place to stay in exchange for taking care of his frail grandmother.

Sonya falls in love with her new home with Azam and his kind grandmother, and their little cottage, where she is free to bake to her heart's content.

But news of the missing princess soon spreads, and when Sonya's new life is threatened, she must decide who she can trust...

Perfect for fans of:
- will-they-wont-they romance
- cottagecore with a Pakistani twist
- found family
- gorgeous outfits!
