MURDER AT HELLFORGE HATCHERY: A Cozy Paranormal Mystery with Dragons, Magic, and Small-Town Secrets
Book Description
One careless signature. Three dead bodies. A magical town that might just kill her.
Elsie Thorn is one signature away from changing her life forever—she just doesn't know it yet. When a mysterious woman offers her a dream job with a suspiciously vague contract, Elsie does what any desperate, rent-dodging twenty-something would do: she signs without reading.
Big mistake.
Suddenly she's whisked away to Mount Hellforge, a hidden magical town where cobblestone streets wind past dragon hatcheries, talking cats teach at the local academy, and the devastatingly handsome Kai Draven tends baby dragons like it's the most natural thing in the world.
Between learning fire spells from Professor Hissington (a cat with a superiority complex), feeding temperamental griffins at FLAME Farms, and trying not to melt into a puddle every time Kai smiles at her, Elsie finally feels like she's found where she belongs.
Then the bodies start dropping.
First, a councilor in her barn. Then dragon eggs vanish before the town's biggest festival and a journalist turns up dead. Finally, her beloved chupacabra Choopie gets framed for murdering a loan shark, and the entire sanctuary ends up under house arrest with basilisks nesting in her underwear drawer.
Armed with her chaotic best friend Zippy, a know-it-all cat professor, and Kai (who's hiding secrets darker than his eyes), Elsie must solve three murders, recover stolen dragon eggs, break a deadly curse, and master the rarest magic in existence—all while the real killer stays one step ahead.
Because someone wants FLAME Farms destroyed. And they'll burn down everyone Elsie loves to get it.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, dragon shifters, slow-burn romance, and heroines who solve murders with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a griffin who won't stop screaming.
