A Recipe for Magic

When a shark vanishes into a whirlpool off the Florida coast, Kira knows something’s wrong—because she’s not from this world. And neither are the monsters now crawling ashore. Kira LeMare runs a quiet spice shop in Fort Coral, hiding her gills, pointed ears, and grandmother’s enchanted recipe book from prying human eyes. But when rifts between dimensions begin tearing open—and sea wraiths, rogue dragons, and interdimensional warlords spill into her hometown—Kira can no longer stay hidden. Armed with spell-beaded jewelry, a sentient dragonette named Luna, and a lover from the aquatic realm of Gaia, she must cross veils, battle traitors, and confront the grandfather who betrayed them all… before Earth becomes a feeding ground for primordial horrors. From swamp-dwelling tree spirits to caballas (horse-dragons with fangs), secret witch councils to cosmic invasions, A Recipe for Magic blends urban fantasy grit with epic multiverse stakes—all simmered in a cauldron of family secrets, forbidden love, and spells disguised as recipes. If you love Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson, Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels, or Seanan McGuire’s portal fantasies—but crave more merfolk, magic herbs, and morally gray grandmothers—this genre-blending adventure is your next obsession.
