Theodora’s Tea Shop
Theodora’s Tea Shop
Synopsis
Theodora's Tea Shop is a 1920s-inspired cosy fantasy debut about learning to love yourself. Timid Dorothy Louise Walcott dreams of escaping her life to learn magic, and sets off for the city of Alliaster to find the witch Theodora — an empress of an underground syndicate peddling magic from behind the quaint façade of her tea shop.
Theodora is everything Dot wants to be: beautiful, witty, confident. But Dot's arrival heralds the unearthing of Theodora's own eldritch secrets, threatening to topple the witch's empire and take them both down with it. Atmospheric and warm despite its darker edges, the novel is built around found family, many cosy and heartfelt moments, and a creepy daemon who owns a department store.
