TheStray

by Jalál C. Hockett

"It's like a Hallmark movie, only good."

— Amazon Review

Talia uses magic to avoid people. Small, petty, convenient magic.

Beautiful, powerful, and alone — exactly how she wants it.

Then a homeless boy follows her home and refuses to leave.

She never wanted this. Never wanted the questions, the trust, the way he looks at her like she's capable of kindness. But some strays don't take no for an answer.

And some magic isn't just for convenience — it's for the things that matter.

Perfect for fans of Howl's Moving Castle and A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking
