Socks & Secret Quests

Howl's Moving Castle meets Dungeons & Dragons in this debut cozy illustrated middle grade fantasy adventure that follows an unlikely heroine who rallies a ragtag team to face a dark wizard, uncovering her own magic along the way.

Peri has been waiting for her magic to show up, but there's been no sign of it since she was chosen as an Apprentice Shopkeeper a year ago. Now she travels with a magical shop that equips adventurers for their quests, unsure if she'll ever do more than stock shelves, mend mittens, and knit non-magical hats that don't do anything but keep heads warm.

Then a dark wizard kidnaps the Master Shopkeeper, intent on using her power to create an unstoppable army.

To save her master, Peri must leave the cozy shop and seek help from the closest adventuring party, who is really good at arguing and really bad at working together. As Peri's magic unexpectedly begins to show itself in the items she's knitting, it's up to her and her team to stop the dark wizard before war breaks out—or it won't be just her shop at stake but the entire kingdom.
