Second Chances with Heather Fawcett and Sarah Beth Durst

Sometimes starting over is the bravest magic of all.

In Heather Fawcett’s Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter, Agnes runs her Montreal cat rescue with precision—until a forced move lands her above a dubious magic shop run by a grouchy wizard with a dangerous past. When trouble catches up with him, threatening both the shop and her shelter, Agnes may have to protect the very man she doesn’t trust.

In Sarah-Beth Durst’s The Enchanted Greenhouse, Terlu Perna is punished for forbidden magic by being turned into a wooden statue—until she awakens on a remote island of magical greenhouses. As she begins to rebuild her life among unexpected companions, the magic sustaining the island starts to fail. To save it, Terlu must break the rules again and confront the question of whether she truly deserves a second chance.
