Title: The Eglund Diary: The First Hundred Days Author: Paul Averlin ASIN: B0H7PXLQ6P Publisher: Paul Averlin (self-published) Publication Date: July 7, 2026 Page count: 361 Format: ebook (Kindle Edition) Language: English Description: Magic, it turns out, is mostly chores.
Eglund Fennick arrives at the wizard's tower with flour on his coat, homesickness in his chest, and a head full of dragons. His new master, Orvath, hands him neither wand nor spellbook — only a yellowed list on the kitchen wall and one instruction: write down, every evening, what you did and what you got wrong.
This book is that diary. One hundred days of porridge and firewood, of a cat who must be fed before anything else, of stairs that creak at hurrying boys and a basil pot that stubbornly faces north. Days of letters from home, a carter's daughter he can never quite speak to, and small strange kindnesses the old tower seems to leave for a boy who keeps its rules — until the day Eglund begins to suspect that the scrubbing and the counting were never just chores at all.
Gentle, funny and quietly magical, The Eglund Diary is a slow cup of tea in book form: a cozy fantasy about homesickness, patience, and the kind of magic that grows out of care. Perfect for readers of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
