Three books. One enchanting world.Welcome to Ciderbrooke, where magic lingers beneath cobblestone streets, witches guard centuries-old secrets, and every season brings a new adventure.
When Eliza Lakeland inherits a mysterious Grimoire, she discovers she's part of an ancient magical legacy that has protected Ciderbrooke for generations. With the steadfast Simon Sterling by her side, her fiercely loyal best friend Ginny never far behind, and the wisdom of mentor Agnes Fuller guiding her, Eliza must learn that true magic demands courage, sacrifice, and trust.
As forgotten enemies awaken and the fate of Ciderbrooke hangs in the balance, friendships are tested, love deepens, and long-buried truths reshape everything Eliza thought she knew about herself, her family, and the power she carries.
Spanning the beauty of autumn, the wonder of winter, and the hope of spring, The Spellbound Trilogy is a heartwarming blend of cozy fantasy, slow-burn romance, found family, mystery, and unforgettable magic.
Perfect for readers who love enchanting small towns, magical bookstores, ancient grimoires, whimsical witches, unforgettable friendships, and stories where love, loyalty, and hope prove to be the greatest magic of all.
The Spellbound trilogy is complete—all three books are out now, and yes, Ginny and Eliza saw it through to the end (Ginny would like it noted that she carried the whole operation).
I write stories about complicated people doing their best and something Ginny would argue absolutely counts as character growth.
If you've met Ginny and Eliza, you already know they have opinions. If you haven't yet, they're waiting for you, along with found family, fun and dark magic, and moments of change that tend to arrive when no one feels ready for them.
I'm an indie author, which means every reader who shows up matters. Truly. So thank you! For taking a chance, for turning pages, for leaving reviews, and for choosing stories told outside the big, shiny publishing machine.
When I'm not writing, I'm usually at home in Minnesota with a cup of coffee, watching the snow fall, wandering cozy bookstores, gardening, painting, or consulting as a nurse.
For something more cozy and upbeat, I am excited to announce the new series Holiday Hexes. Follow me on Instagram for updates!! @kathrynjames_author or my website www.kathryn-james.com
Thanks for being here and thanks for reading indie! ~Kathryn James
