About this listen

A heartwarming and humorous blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery featuring a witch with domestic powers and the royal household he serves...dinner.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals.

But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs. As his powers are gradually discovered by the court, Fin finds himself involved in a slew of intrigues: going head-to-head with knights with less-than-chivalrous intentions, helping to protect the pregnant queen, fending off the ire of the royal mage, and uncovering a spy in the castle. And that’s only the beginning—because Fin’s past is catching up with him just as his love life is getting complicated . . .

Filled with fascinating characters, courtly intrigue, political machinations, delicious cuisines, cuddly companions, magical hijinks, and will-they-won’t-they romance, The House Witch is the first in a captivating new series, guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of any listener.

The first volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road!

A lot of fun!

This was a good cozy fantasy. The "romance" part of it is not a big part of the story, but this is the first book in a series so it's the set-up book. It sets up a lot of things, but doesn't deliver a big ending yet. That's ok, though. I'm happy to continue reading to get more.

This was described to me as the main character being a grumpy person. I don't know if I felt like he came across as grumpy so much as set in his ways and not liking his authority challenged. It's not exactly the same. Especially because early on he develops a cute relationship with the young prince in the castle and that totally destroys any chance of seeing him as grumpy to me.

It was good fun!

Adorable, Witty and Hilarious

I quite enjoyed listening to this book, it was perfectly cozy and the characters are well crafted. All of their decisions made sense and I just loved the magic and storytelling. Also the politics and romance and magic were well balanced, I was never bored. I did find the kraken and other cat voices a little strange but they were still funny.

Love it-Adore the Characters

I loved it but it’s definitely a story where you’ll be needing to read the sequels. It’s a cute story so far. The characters are lovely. The kitchen staff ended up being some of the best characters.
