The price of a cup of tea is never gold. It's a piece of your soul.
In the fog-drenched village of Mist-on-the-Hill,Mariette runs The Steeped Past, a tea shop where the brews don't just warm the belly-they heal the heart. Got a broken spirit? Try the Lavender Longing. Need courage? A sip of Summer's Dare will do.
But Mariette is a Memory Witch, and her magic requires a trade. To be healed, you must surrender a memory. A first kiss. The smell of your mother's perfume. The day you realized you were unloved. Mariette harvests these moments, storing them in glowing jars that line her walls like captured stars.
Her life is quiet and carefully curated until Sir Alex walks in. A knight with a shattered blade and a terrifying "Hollow" in his chest, he has no memories to give. No past. No identity. But he is carrying a rusted tea tin that belonged to Mariette's grandmother-the woman who disappeared into the Whispering Woods years ago.
To find her grandmother and save the knight from the void in his heart, Mariette must help Alex recover what was stolen. But some memories were forgotten for a reason, and once a tea is brewed, the past can never be un-steeped.
