About the book
The Hocus Pocus Handbook plunges readers into a vibrant realm of wildcraft magic, fickle brownies, and capricious fae courts. Thea Winter didn't exactly choose to be a changeling—stolen from the mortal world as an infant, she was raised by a pragmatic hobgoblin who taught her everything except how to stay out of trouble. When her spouse abruptly bolts from their unwanted-but-convenient marriage, Thea must hunt him down. She is reluctantly paired with Kerboros, a reserved and humorless enforcer known as the Winter’s Hound, who has never known freedom. As this unlikely duo embarks on a sweeping quest, a classic sunshine-and-shadow dynamic ignites, proving that when an irresistible force meets an immovable object, the resulting chemistry might just upend the entire Winter Court.
