Magicmarket storie

"I just wanted moonvine root. Not a magical man in a bottle." Maris Aven is a tea-blending herbalist with a sharp tongue, a soft heart (deep, deep down), and absolutely no patience for magical nonsense. When she stumbles into the legendary Century Market - a once-a-century, floating marketplace of enchanted goods and unpredictable traders - she's just looking for ingredients. Instead, she accidentally makes a wish. Now she's stuck with Fen - a sarcastic, retired wish-granter who would very much like to stay retired. Bound together by old magic and mutual irritation, the two must survive enchanted bargains, magical mishaps, and the Market's shifting stalls... all while unraveling what it really means to be understood. She's not looking for love. He's not looking for freedom. But the Market has a way of giving you exactly what you didn't ask for. #FantasyRomance #ShortStory #StrongFemaleLead #MagicMarket #GrumpySunshine #SlowBurnRomance #AccidentalMagic #EnemiesToAllies #SassyDialogue #WhimsicalFantasy #HealingAndHeart #WittyBanter #WishGoneWrong #FeelGoodRead
