About the book
About The Teapot That Wouldn't Warm
Some things break in places fire can't reach. Wren Halberd is the mender of Mallowmere. Bring her a cracked bowl, a silent clock, a kettle that's lost its song, and she'll sit with it, listen for the note still humming inside, and coax it back to itself. It's quiet work, and Wren likes it quiet. Then a teapot comes through her door that won't warm. Not a fault in the metal, not a flaw she can mend with steady hands - something colder, and closer to home. As the season turns and the village leans toward the year's first frost, Wren finds that to fix the teapot she may have to mend the one thing she's been keeping cold inside herself. For readers who love low-stakes, character-driven fantasy, cottagecore comfort reads, and stories where the magic is small, the tea is warm, and found family is everything. Book 1 of The Mallowmere Workshop - a cozy fantasy series you can read in any order.
