A gentle, romantic fantasy set in a fae village tucked between seasons, Thistle & Thread follows Elowen, a bookseller who brews tea like spells and lives among stories that whisper. Her life is soft, steady, and exactly as she’s designed it—until Aurelian, a traveling botanist with roots of his own, returns to Faerrow. As the frost turns to bloom, Elowen and Aurelian share tea, secrets, and the kind of love that blooms quietly—but never stops. This is a tale of finding home, being seen, and choosing someone not because they asked—but because they stayed. Perfect for readers who love: Cozy fantasy with romantic tension - Gentle magic and fae folklore - Found-home themes and soft, steady love stories - Tea, bookstores, black cats, and emotional healing
