Vienna Carlisle lives in Port Sorillea, a sea side city, in the wildlife filled country of Guibena Berlom. She lives with her foster family, and enjoys a down to earth normal life, with only the company of her family and the local townsfolk in the daily routines she calls everyday life.
Attending school, working, and pursuing hobbies gets tiring. Her life has been repeat for since she was born, and she's ready for something exciting to happen.
But one day, as she's returning home from school, she bumps into a boy with an outlandish front, and he distraughtly takes off. Acting on impulse, Vienna chases after him, intrigued by this unusual boy who has never seemed to appear in her village before. Soon he ducks into an abandoned alleyway, and races up a stairway on a building; only to lead Vienna to an old convenience store, now in bright neon lights 'The Inconvenience Store'. Discontinuing his panic in exasperation, he tells Vienna about this headquarters of paranormal beings. Vampires, Werewolves, Wizards, Witches, Fae, Elves, all sorts of unusual creatures. 'Inconveniences', as they call themselves.
Vienna soon learns that she too is a witch, a paranormal creature herself, and strives to keep her life as a witch and her life as a human separate, but as her friends and family start to get suspicious, it becomes clear that she will need to choose between her life as a human, and her life as a witch, because she can't lead a double life forever.
Will Vienna choose the society of paranormal beings she has turned out to find her place with, or will she decide not to abandon the humans that had brought her up from the darkness of being alone?
Amelia Bright has a special skill; when she talks to plants, they respond.
Well, not immediately. But they grow better when she sits in her garden and has a chat.
In a world where vampires hide in nightclubs and wizards advertise their services to a skeptical society via an ignored newspaper, Amelia retreats to a cottage she inherited from a reclusive aunt. It's a pretty good life for a millennial; a rent-free existence where your annoying neighbour is a bear, but when a man who calls himself Martin Everly shows up and starts leaving creepy garden gnomes in the forest behind the cottage, Amelia gets a pressing urge to lock up the cottage and never come back. What does Martin want? Will Amelia be able to shake that weird feeling before it forces her out of her lucky inheritance? And, perhaps more importantly, if a random guy advertising his services as a professional wizard can catch a break, is there a way to earn a living slowly growing happy plants?
