Sarah Beth Durst- The Spell Shop

(USED-Like New)-

A FAR-AWAY ISLAND.
A SECRET SPELLSHOP.
AND UNEXPECTED ROMANCE.

Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people and, as librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she hasn't had to. She and her assistant, Caz, a sentient spider plant, have spent the last eleven years sequestered among the empire's precious spellbooks. But when the library goes up in flames, Kiela and Caz have to flee to the far-away island where she grew up.

To Kiela's dismay, in addition to a nosy - and very handsome - neighbour, she finds the empire has been draining power from the island. Kiela is determined to make things right. But opening up her own secret spellshop comes with its own risks: the consequence of sharing magic with others is death. And as Kiela starts to make a place for herself, she realizes she must break down the walls she has kept so high ...
