Willow Frost is done. After one too many magical misfires and a lifetime of feeling “too much,” she retreats to the one place that ever felt like home: her late aunt’s abandoned café in Willowbrook, a hidden town where magic flows through every teacup and spellwork responds to emotion.
But burnout doesn't care how whimsical the town is. With her magic unraveling and her confidence shot, Willow plans to quietly shut the doors—until an enchanted cat named Professor Whiskers, a worryingly sentient tea kettle, and a grumpy herbalist named Sage start interfering with her exit strategy.
And then there's the keystone.
The ancient magic protecting Willowbrook is cracking, and the town may fall with it—unless Willow can find a way to channel the very thing she’s always been told to suppress: her beautifully scattered, neurodivergent mind.
✨ A heartfelt prequel to The Hyperfocus Café, this cozy queer fantasy celebrates ADHD magic, chosen family, and the quiet power of showing up for yourself—especially when you think you’ve failed.
