Six letters arrive at Moonlight Manor. Six magical communities, each guarding a broken ward. Each one damaged by the same collector—the Archivist—and each one unaware that the others exist. Elara Voss, newly confident in her role as Keeper, must decipher the founding document, activate the magical grid, and bring together seven ward-keepers before the Spring Tide resets the network forever.
With the help of a sarcastic crow, a sentient kitchen, and a growing circle of witches, selkies, dryads, and magical practitioners, Elara must navigate the emotional weight of legacy, the technical complexity of enchanted schematics, and the fragile hope of people who’ve been managing alone for too long.
Perfect for fans of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Legends & Lattes, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Six Communities is a lyrical, emotionally resonant fantasy about magical restoration, community resilience, and the quiet magic of being seen.
