Welcome to Inglewood, a quiet village tucked into idyllic countryside. Inglewood's librarian, Mellyd, is a shy woman who secretly writes magical wishes that she slips into each book someone borrows. These are simple charms to bless the villagers with happiness, health, and prosperity. Once, she dreamed of studying magic at university, but she's grown comfortable in her placid life, with her tiny pet dragon and the library's surly cat for company. But when a stranger leaves a magical grimoire in the library, Mellyd cannot resist trying a spell from it. Just as she is doing so, Nian, a mage from the royal court of a rival kingdom, walks in and catches her. The grimoire was used to curse his king, and Nian must urgently find a way to lift that curse or else the king will die and the kingdoms' delicate truce will be in jeopardy. As Mellyd and Nian work together to translate the book's mysterious spells, an attraction starts to grow between them. But pestered by nosy neighbors, a mischievous dragon, and a king so irascible it's no wonder someone cursed him, they will need all the magic they can raise to secure a happily ever after for themselves and the world.
