The House Witch 2: A Humorous Romantic Fantasy

Finlay Ashowan, a house witch who wields domestic magic, prefers to keep his life as orderly as his kitchen. In the second book of the series, he must navigate matters of the heart, hearth, family, and kingdom as his carefully controlled world becomes increasingly complicated. Finlay works for the King and Queen of Daxaria while secretly pursuing a relationship with Lady Annika Jenoure. Their romance faces an obstacle: Finlay's status as a commoner could prevent Annika from avoiding a politically arranged marriage. Meanwhile, war with Troivack looms closer, and when Finlay requests time away from the castle, the King grants it only on the condition that he spy on Troivackian troops allegedly stationed in Austice. Complications multiply when Finlay's estranged father unexpectedly arrives in Daxaria. As Finlay forms new friendships and alliances—both magical and non-magical—he becomes entangled in courtly intrigues, old feuds, and personal crises. His attempts to resolve these mounting problems only reveal that his troubles are far from over.
