The Assistant to the local Bogwitch in Faroffvill

For ten years, Jude Sellers had a quite unusual job: assistant to the bogwitch of a remote swamp. He gathered spell ingredients, cleaned a crooked hut in the marsh, got killed by a magical cat more times than he can comfortably count and occasionally helped summon demons. Now his contract is over, and Jude wants something normal. A real job. A normal life in the big city. There’s just one problem: when Jude lists “assistant to the local bogwitch” on his résumé, employers assume he’s joking. In a modern world where magic is supposed to be nothing more than history and superstition, his decade of very real experience is treated like an untasteful prank. Enter Jesse Duffy, a museum guide who spends her days teaching visitors that witches, demons, and magic are relics of humanity’s ignorance. When Jude wanders into the Museum of Magic, Witchcraft and History, Jesse assumes he’s just another eccentric history nerd. Until he proves magic is real. What begins as curiosity, and perhaps a promising first date, ends with Jude accidentally summons a seductive and dangerous demon in Jesse’s living room. Suddenly Jesse learns the truth: the magical world exists, hidden alongside the mundane one and Jude has just broken one of its most important laws. To prevent disaster, Jude must rush Jesse to the swamp village of Faroffvill and the only person who might fix the situation: Cyrene, the mysterious bogwitch who trained him. Along the way they are accompanied by Quercus, Cyrene’s enormous, sarcastic, and occasionally homicidal talking cat. Blending urban fantasy, humor, romance, and mystery, The Assistant to the Local Bogwitch in Faroffvill explores what happens when an ordinary life collides with an extraordinary hidden world. Because sometimes the hardest part of discovering magic is surviving the consequences of it. And sometimes the biggest mistake you can make on a first date is accidentally summoning your demon ex.
