The Hearthfire

by Jalál C. Hockett

"I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. Absolutely enchanting!"

— Amazon Review

After fifteen years of war, Ragna Threadscar inherits a run-down alehouse in a sleepy coastal village — and a chance to stop being a warrior.

Lighting the hearth should be the easy part. Keeping sharp-tongued orphans from claiming her life as their own? That's the real battle.

Ragna didn't plan on children. She didn't plan on community. She never expected magic humming in the hearthfire, or that building something — a business, a family, a future — would take more courage than any battlefield ever demanded.

Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea

"I absolutely loved this book, and started reading it this morning. Nothing else got done apart from feeding the animals, but I had to keep reading! I had read The Stray, and loved it, so had high expectations. I was not disappointed! Absolutely enchanting!"

★★★★★

"The writing and worldbuilding are excellent. The characters are loveable and believable. The found family theme is well-written, heartwarming, and often tearful. Einar is hilarious. I read this book in KU but will buy it and The Stray to reread; both are lovely lower stress books."
