Immunity to magic is a rare curse, one that restless accountant Fellen Waterford knows all too well. Surely her new job at Evander’s Aquarium of Magical Creatures holds the answer, if she can just get her hands on the elusive remedy: the venom of the vicious beithir. When Fellen discovers the aquarium is bankrupt and eviction is looming, she vows to save the business and her chance to experience magic, even if it involves hunting down a ferocious sea dragon. As she grows closer to her enigmatic new employer and the reclusive researcher she shares an office with, however, Fellen suspects that not everything at the aquarium is as it seems. There is more at stake than she could have imagined. She must navigate stormy seas and mysterious magic in a whirlwind adventure of courage, betrayal and sacrifice on her journey to discovering her true strength. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber, Erin Morgenstern, Naomi Novik and Heather Fawcett, Stitches and Scales is a charming debut inviting the reader into a whimsical world that promises magic, adventure and a touch of romance.
