Kiela has always had trouble forming relationships. Fortunately, as an employee of the Alysian Imperial Library, together with an intelligent plant named Kaz, who acts as her assistant, she spent the last ten years practically only in the company of the rarest magical books, the contents of which serve the chosen elite of the capital.
When a revolution breaks out and the library goes up in flames, Kiela and Kaz pack as many books as they can carry and flee to her home island of Kaltrej, which she never hoped to see again. As they settle in, Kiela is half-horrified to discover that she has a rather curious – and also very handsome – neighbor.
Kiela is looking for some way to make a living, and in the process she discovers that something is desperately lacking all over the island, and even in the local bakery: marmalade. Using illegal magic, she soon finds plenty of ripe raspberries in her garden, which she successfully turns into delicious jam with the help of an old family recipe book. Kiela therefore decides to risk breaking the law against witchcraft and opens the island's first ever and much-needed secret magic shop.
A kind story full of magical creatures and scented with cinnamon rolls will warm your soul and delight your heart.
