About 'The Last Room in Haven House': "The magical found family of Howl's Moving Castle gets a D&D-flavored twist in this close-to-cozy debut fantasy by M. Kayes!
Magical narrating houses, meatloaf-making paladins, androids in sweaters, and demons who love doing the dishes.
When a centuries-old sea elf claims an abandoned house in the human realm as his kingdom, he has only one goal in mind: To create a restful place for anyone who needs it. But a house can do more with an ocean of magic than Fane imagined, and providing a safe haven for some of the most persecuted people in the past, present, and future means his own rest is often hard to find. There is only one room left in Haven House, and this time, Fane fears even an ocean of magic may not be enough.
The Last Room in Haven House is a warmhearted slice-of-life fantasy perfect for fans of Travis Baldree, Rebecca Thorne, Sangu Mandanna, and TJ Klune!"

About the author: "M. Kayes (she/they/theirs) is a neurodivergent goblin-like creature who writes hopeful and sometimes silly little stories in their home in central Illinois. They were a middle school teacher for six years before deciding to live out their coziest fantasies as a bookseller at an independent bookstore. When they aren't writing or selling books, they're probably in the woods reading and can be lured out with coffee."
