A Ledger of Honey and Thyme

About this book

Thaddeus Loring, a twenty-one-year-old meticulously organized clerk from the capital's arcane bureaucracy, inherits a rundown magical apiary in the agrarian village of Oakhaven. Armed only with ledgers and an absolute ignorance of rural life, he expects to quickly liquidate the asset and return to the city. Instead, he finds himself woefully out of his depth among empathy-sensitive humming-bees, unpredictable enchanted crops, and a tight-knit community that operates on warmth rather than schedules. As Thaddeus struggles to adapt, he crosses paths with Branwen, a fiercely independent magical carpenter battling her own perfectionism, and Linus, the perpetually overwhelmed town mayor. When a ruthless corporate inspector arrives to rezone the village for profit, Thaddeus must decide whether to retreat to the safety of his predictable city life or use his bureaucratic mastery to protect the messy, vibrant community he has unexpectedly come to love.
