' A delightfully sweet and cozy novel that' s as comforting as a warm cup of tea' -
Kirkus Reviews Starred Following the untimely death of their parents Anne Beatrix and
Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that lie at the bottom of
their customers' teacups. Days at their teashop are filled with fortune-telling intertwined
with the sound of clinking china and the scent of cinnamon shortbread. When the Council of
Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers 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 a mischievous trapeze artist threatening
to sweep her off her feet-it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters
forever is taking effect. With dwindling time to rewrite their future and save the cosy and
much-loved tearoom the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on
saving each other will they lose sight of themselves?
