Poisoned wine, a cursed loom, and a pattern witch who’d rather stitch quilts than corpses.

When Rowan Miller fled Fablefern, she swore she’d never touch her family’s enchanted loom—or the grudges woven into every thread of their small-town legacy. Ten years later, one frantic phone call drags her back to a hometown brimming with autumn festivals, whispered spellcraft … and enemies who still remember exactly why the Millers left.

Rowan barely unpacks her suitcases before a rival couture heiress drops dead at a glittering fashion gala—killed by a glass of wine clearly meant for Rowan’s ailing mother. Overnight, the Miller name becomes headline gossip, the police circle like moths around candlewick, and every bolt of fabric in Stitch & Thread seems to hiss with unfinished magic.

Determined to clear her mother’s name, Rowan teams up with diner-running best friend Bronwyn and her chaos-magnet siblings to unravel a sabotage plot stitched from poisoned herbs, inverted sigils, and long-buried couture secrets. But the deeper she digs, the more the family loom demands her bloodline’s ancient craft— and the more Rowan wonders whether the real killer is human … or something born of her own ancestral threads.

Welcome to Fablefern: where gossip travels faster than broomsticks, festival cinnamon fogs the air, and one wrong stitch can unravel a life. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and craft-themed cozies with a dash of queer found family.
