Tempests & Tea Leaves
(2025)(The first book in the Charmed Leaf Legacy series)
A novel by Rachel Morgan
Regency meets cozy fae fantasy with a dash of Pride & Prejudice in this sparkling, no-spice tale of magical debuts, an enchanted tea house, and banter-filled romance.
In a world where both race and magic determine one's place in society, half-fae Iris Starspun has always known she doesn't belong. Having a human mother is bad enough, but being magicless as well? That’s simply unforgivable.
But when Iris unexpectedly manifests magic at age nineteen, her parents see it as their chance to save the family from financial ruin. Never mind that her silly paper-folding magical ability is considered frivolous at best, useless at worst. And never mind that she decided long ago not to marry. The Bloom Season has begun, and Iris must attempt to secure a match—or watch her family's future crumble.
Enter Lord Jasvian Rowanwood, heir to the most powerful family in the United Fae Isles. His ability to calm the deadly magical tempests that form in his family's lumyrite mines is revered by all, and he takes that responsibility very seriously. Perhaps too seriously, if you ask his meddlesome grandmother. But Jasvian knows exactly what magic should be: practical, purposeful, and definitely not involving delicate paper creations or half-human debutantes with razor-sharp tongues.
But then Jasvian's grandmother—the formidable Lady Rivenna—does the unthinkable and offers Iris the coveted position of apprentice at The Charmed Leaf Tea House, the most influential establishment in all of Bloomhaven. Now Iris must navigate both her new role and the scorn of Lady Rivenna's grandson, all while trying to secure a match that might save her family.
Set in a whimsical world of paper magic, mischievous gossip birds, and a tea house with a mind of its own, this charming romantasy serves up a perfectly steeped blend of swooning romance and delightfully barbed banter.
