Board Games and Broomsticks

Every witch knows that playing with magic is a risky game... Nyssa Hawthorne is at the top of her game: as a high-flying mage leading a coven, she has everything she’s ever wanted. But her job requires long days, late nights and endless spell-casting - this witch is burnt out!

Retreating to her late grandmother’s lakeside cottage – a place she’s avoided for the last decade - Nyssa rediscovers her collection of beloved board games with endless worlds to escape into. Vowing to share this magic with the locals, Nyssa opens a board game café in the village with well-worn sofas, a stove in the corner, and blankets covering every surface. Soon, she’s surrounded by friends old and new. When an old enemy arrives on her doorstep, Nyssa mixes her witchcraft with the boardgames in the ultimate roll of the dice - but is it worth the risk to protect the true magic she's finally found?A spellbinding cosy fantasy full of adventure, found family, romance and discovering your inner magic…
