Magic, Maps, and Mischief

What Would You Do To Discover Your Heart's Desire?

Greton of Willow is in a spot of bother. Caught in the act while escorting a family of elves to safety, Greton flees for greener pasturers with only his scant magic and brilliant mind to his name.

And a question. The question.

'What is your heart's desire?'

A life-long outsider, Greton sets out to uncover what lies at the centre of his heart. Is it adopting a tawny owl? Owning his very own map shop? Forging a found family with others as similarly scorned as himself? The possibilities are endless. Determined to put his marvellous mind to the task, Greton discovers a way to reveal anyone's heart's desire, but not everyone's longings are as pure as his...

Something odd is occurring in Greton's new home of Barrow's Hill, and, before long, the old man in search of a comfortable new life finds himself swept up in danger and mischief.

A heart-felt, cozy, neurodivergent adventure filled with found family and an elderly autistic hero searching for his place in the world, 'Magic, Maps, and Mischief' is a story built on love, friendship and acceptance, perfect for readers of 'Legends and Lattes', 'The Teller of Small Fortunes' and 'Under The Whispering Door'.
