The Charmed Library
Coming January 6, 2026
Blending the magic of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep, the bookish wonder of The Lost Bookshop, and the small-town ambiance of Rachel Linden, The Charmed Library invites you into a world where words come alive, secrets are steeped in magic, and lives are transformed one story at a time.
What happens when you open your heart to the stories waiting to be written?
Stella Parker is stuck. Stuck back in her childhood bedroom in the small town she grew-up in. Stuck between playing it safe and making a change. Stuck in heartbreak. As an assistant librarian, she's surrounded by her favorite things: words. But Stella has a secret: she can see words not just on the page but all around her--words that shimmer and flit like living things, carrying emotions and whispers of untold stories. For years, she's kept this gift hidden, scribbling fragments into notebooks, unsure of their purpose.
After a lifetime of seeing and hiding her words, Stella views her gift as a mere curiosity, filling countless notebooks with words, poetry, and unfinished stories that seem to insist on being penned. However, Stella's world is upended when she tosses a journal filled with love notes to her ex into the library's furnace. This impulsive act awakens a new kind of magic--words that surge through her with undeniable urgency and purpose. Suddenly, Stella begins to wonder: Could her gift help guide others to the stories they need most? Could these words hold the power to change lives—including her own?
Things get complicated when, after hours in the library, Stella encounters unusual visitors and stumbles upon the library's long-held secrets of magic. Her questions lead her deep into the library's hidden magic, where she discovers the extraordinary ability to bring fictional characters to life. As she navigates the chaos of keeping the library's secrets safe, managing an enchanting WWII soldier, an unexpected villain, and her own meddlesome brother, Stella finds herself on a journey of love, courage, and rediscovery.
With a hint of summer love, a journey of self-discovery, and the extraordinary power of words, The Charmed Library is a captivating exploration of life's possibilities when you dare to embrace the magic within.
