Ever since the untimely death of their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that rest in the swirls of ginger, cloves, and cardamon that lie at the bottom of their customers’ cups. Their days at the teashop are filled with talk of butterflies and good fortune intertwined with the sound of cinnamon shortbread being snapped by laced fingers.

That is, until the Council of Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers, and the sisters suddenly find themselves being pulled in different directions. As Anne’s magic begins to develop beyond that of her sisters’, Beatrix’s writing attracts the attention of a publisher, and Violet is enchanted by the song of the circus—and perhaps a mischievous trapeze artist threatening to sweep her off her feet—it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters is taking effect.

With dwindling time to rewrite their future and help three other witches challenge their own destinies, the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on saving each other, will they lose sight of themselves?

FAQ's

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because we are a small independent bookstore, we can only offer returns or exchanges on unopened, unused items within 14 days of purchase. Books must be in new condition, and Blind Date With a Book purchases are final (to keep the surprise intact!). If you ever have an issue or concern with an order, just reach out, we’re always happy to help.

How long will my order take to ship?

We have a very small team, so orders are typically processed and shipped within 5-7 business days. You’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as your package is on the way. If it's a rush, just email us to let us know and we will prioritize your order!

Local? You can select in-store pickup at Spare Time Books during checkout and grab your order the same day we process it!

Can I use a Bookshop Besties e-gift card in-store and online?

Yes! Our e-gift cards work both on our website and in-store at Spare Time Books. Just enter the gift card code at checkout (online) or show the email at the register (in person).
