A heartwarming and humorous blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery featuring a witch with domestic powers and the royal household he serves . . . dinner. When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he's an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He's satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin's secret identity doesn't stay hidden for long. After all, it's not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs. As his powers are gradually discovered by the court, Fin finds himself involved in a slew of intrigues: going head-to-head with knights with less-than-chivalrous intentions, helping to protect the pregnant queen, fending off the ire of the royal mage, and uncovering a spy in the castle. And that's only the beginning--because Fin's past is catching up with him just as his love life is getting complicated . . . Filled with fascinating characters, courtly intrigue, political machinations, delicious cuisines, cuddly companions, magical hijinks, and will-they-won't-they romance, The House Witch is the first in a captivating new series, guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of any reader. The first volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series--with more than a million views on Royal Road--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

"This was a fun and cozy read with a likable witch navigating his everyday life with magic. It had some charming moments, but it didn't stand out to me. The story was enjoyable, but I expected a bit more. Overall, it was good but not great."

"So I read the first chapter a month back and thought it wasn’t for me but I returned to the book and I don’t know if I should have. I love the cozy book genre so I was willing to push on for good fuzzy feels. Sadly, I almost never got those feelings. Like I love the fight against misogynists and other horrible ideals but it doesn’t bring the cozy feel. It was more like having a salad rather than a warm cup of tea. I was agreeing with the characters’ actions and author’s believes but the plot was lackluster and I only really enjoyed some characters. I will likely not continue the read but feel like it’s a decent book."

"I stumbled across the House Witch because I wanted a fun, easy read for a small trip and once I started, I couldn't stop myself from reading. Needless to say, I'm halfway done with the second book out of the trilogy and will definitely be getting the third! Plus, I think the cover is absolutely lovely. "

"I had high hopes for this book but it was so bland. There was very little excitement in it and I struggled to turn the pages. I got about half way through and dnf. This book may be good for some but it was not for me. "

"This might be the best book I’ve ever read. There were so many lol moments, it had me grinning from ear to ear! I can’t even express how much I loved this book, I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t want to sleep, I only wanted to read! "

"My new favorite series. Just enough problems that i wasn’t bored but not so many problems that i wanted to punch the mcs for being silly. Dudes familiar is awesome, love interest kicks more butt than the mmc, found family, and the world building is gorgeous. I can’t stop thinking about this book! (TW: childhood abuse, sexual harassment but both aren’t super intense compared to books focusing on those topics)"

"A really cute read, very cozy witch vibes but a slow start I couldn’t get into."
