Bestseller! “Down-to-earth and completely irresistible Foss is fantastic as is her talking
cat! A Harvest of Hearts is that rare story that feels both classic and unique at the same
time. I loved it!” —Sarah Beth Durst New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
Everyone in Foss Butcher’s village knows what happens when the magic-workers come they harvest
human hearts to use in their spells. That’s just how life in her kingdom works. But Foss plain
clumsy and practical as a boot never expected anyone would want hers. When a sorcerer snags
a piece of Foss’s heart without meaning to she is furious. For once a heart is snagged the
experience is . . . well unpleasant. So Foss finds herself stomping toward the grand City to
keep his enchanted House and demands that he fixes her before she keels over and dies or
whatever happens when hearts are Snagged. But the sorcerer Sylvester is not what she
expected. Petulant idle and new to his powers Sylvester has no clue how to undo the
heart-taking or how to do much of anything really apart from sulk. Foss’s only friend is a
talking cat and even the House’s walls themselves have moods. As Foss searches for a cure
she accidentally uncovers that there is much more to the heart-taking—and to the magic-workers
themselves—than she could have ever imagined. . . .
